Ally, you brought us a great sketch today! Thank you.
Isn't it fun when you look at a sketch and you know exactly how you want to proceed? It was the mistletoe sprig that I saw when Ally published the SC. I stamped the Hero Art's Clear image onto Basic Grey DP and then embossed it with Sea Foam ep. Then I fussy cut the sprig. The large circle is scalloped instead of the second panel. I just love the DP from a long since discontinued paper group, 'Mistletoe & Pear'. The little red breasted bird steals the scene. Inked the sentiment on clear acetate from packaging, die cut the rectangle. The snowflake is from Tim Holtz's snowflake die cut. It was fancied up with a pearl brad and snippet of trim...and the few sequins finish the sketch.
It's been fun this last week to hit a few of the Splitcoast Challenges...we have such an awesome community that has been built over time. Thanks to everyone who missed me, welcomed me back, and sent me cards, prayers, and love during my recovery. Thanks for stopping by.

It's such a delight to see your cards! Love that bird! The mistletoe is so perfect on this colorful, festive card, Susan! The sentiment on acetate is perfect with this!

I do love it when the inspiration comes so easily. Sometimes for me it is the wonderful papers I have collected over the years as pieces of colors and art I love. This piece certainly would be inspiring to me. Love the added mistletoe. So glad to be seeing your Christmas creations! Welcome back, my sweet friend!
