This is my card for today's challenge....I lost my internet connection for three hours...so I'm just now loading it. I love the large image for this sketch. I used the large single pine tree from Lovely as a Tree, stamped it in Olive and applied Dazzling Diamonds all over it. I layered Merry Moments DP with Real Red for the layers. I used the new SU embossing folder in Olive for the base. I used the sentiment from All Holidays in Real Red, layering with punches. I used the new ribbon Sleigh Bells from the Holiday mini to run beneath the tree image. I will make this my family Christmas card, so I didn't want the bump of a bow.
I really love this sketch! Thanks Roxie and Faith!
Hope ya'll like it....Thanks so much for looking!
