This card is for the final 2011 Sketch For You To Try found each month on Jen del Muro's blog here: http://iheart2stamp.com/2011/12/03/d...or-you-to-try/. I've participated in each one and am throwing my hat in the ring to win the grand prize. How exciting!
This is for a friend's birthday. I used to shy away from making birthday cards like Christmas cards . . . until I decided that birthday people are just happy to get a card, and it's nice to have the card made in the season in which it is given.
I layered up the circle on the left by using die-cut circles. The snowflake/poinsettia combos utilized Spellbinders Snowflake dies. I sponged Adirondack "Bottle" ink around the edges then covered them with Star Dust Stickles and let them dry.
Thanks for your comments, and I hope you're enjoying the holiday season, wherever you live.
