Christmas, Christmas time is near...time for toys, and time for cheer...

Happy Tuesday, y'all! It's time for another Skipping Stones Design Sketch Challenge...#97 to be exact. And it's double fun today, we're celebrating the release of Christmas Song! If you just came from Katie's blog, you're in the right place.  You can start at the beginning of the hop at Skipping Stones Design, and see the whole list there as well. I created a little card today with Cristina's fabulous sketch...see what you think.


I sure had fun with this one. I wanted to use an ornament and this sentiment from Christmas Song, so I stamped the sentiment in Black Stazon on hot press watercolor paper, then embossed the ornament on top with clear embossing powder. Then I added a wash of Soft Sky and Tempting Turquoise, and some Real Red for the ornament. A closeup:

I stamped the music score from Timeless Textures in Versamark on Kraft, then added some lace and a Zva Creative pearl flourish for that little something *extra.* I hope you like it!

Now it's time to go visit all the rest of the girls and see what fabulous stuff they have for you! This month we are welcoming Andrea Ewen, Tammy Tutterow and Karen Christensen to our team as Guest Designers.  Cristina Kowalczyk will be providing all the fabulous sketch inspiration this month including the sketch we're using in today's hop!
