For Ally's debut as a sketch challenge hostess she provided a great sketch for holiday cards - so I went with that. A day off has given me time to stamp and get a photo taken before it got dark - yay!
I didn't want to to do a whole amount of stamping so I decided to let papers do most of the work, and pulled out BG's Aspen Frost. I reckoned that the collage page would work well for stamping an image on and colouring it, and I'm certainly happy with the look I got. Especially as it's one of my less favourite designs in the pack . I cut the pieces for the sketch, then stamped the birdhouse and coloured it with inks and Sakura pens. Banner is embossed with Swiss Dots. Sentiment layered up on foam dots, and I added a snowflake button for the centre. This was finished off with a black pen and some Liquid Pearls for the birdies' hats and on the scalloped circle.
