Over on my Do Crafts blog - I run a Sketch Challenge every Wednesday, where crafting goodies are up for grabs every week. I don't always get a chance to make a card as per the sketch, but I have this week. You can see the sketch challenge for this week on the right panel on this blog.
I created the card using trees cut from the Christmas Cheer Cartridge for the Circut. I then shaded them with brown and white ink, andembellsihed them with a white pen. I mounted them on to blue circles which had also been shaded and embellished with ink and white pen. The three circles were then atached to a panel of white core'dinations. I pricked around the panel - I love doing this! I then used latte, burgundy and black core'dinations to mat and layer.A quick greeting was stamped and embossed and I added ribbon to finish the card.
Here are the deets of the supplies Embellishments: Christmas trees cut from the Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge, ribbon from stash
Cardstock: green, brown, white, latte, burgundy and black core'dinations
Stamps: Happy Christmas fromWoodware Clear stamps - Celebrating Christmas (FRCL076)
Accessories: Papermania Pink Pokey Tool; brown, black, white ink; clear embossing powder; white pen
I really hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by today, I hope the weather is not too bad where you are. Keep warm, and have a great evening!
Love, Clare x

As always Clare this is lovely !
It's been snowing here this morning and has been so slippy ! Nearly ended up on my bottom once or twice, once in the supermarket, lol, just managed to save myself the embarassment of being picked up off the floor !
