I haven't had much stamping time this past week, and I'm falling behind on my Christmas card making so I decided to get my creative juices going by doing a sketch challenge.
I found a sketch on the Freshly Made Sketches site that was a bit of a challenge for me, as I'm not into layered pieces that much. Once I got busy with the design, my card came together pretty quickly.
Freshly Made Sketches challenge #552 |

Well that's another Christmas card finished, and although it wasn't my typical card style I enjoyed doing something different. I'm looking forward to making a few more cards with the Family & Friends stamp set, and mixing it again with the Trees for Sale set.
I hope you enjoyed today's card and my interpretation of the Freshly Made Sketch #552. I'd love to hear your comments, so drop me a note and make my day! Cheers.
HAPPY STAMPING!
