Hello dear friends and blog followers and a belated hello and thanks to my 45th follower, so glad that you are here! So here it is the start of another weekend (yahoo) and another weekly challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown (see above). Oh my, I just gotta say that I really liked this sketch - so many ideas and so much potential with this one - it's definitely going in my "to be used again" folder. So here's what I made using this sketch - hope you like it!
and here's the inside too:
I had a lot of fun with this card. I stuck with very traditional Christmas colors (don't do that terribly often) and this tree stamp is very easy to fussy cut. Lately I've been going more on the CAS route but this sketch gave me the opportunity to use some of my DSP stash and lots of layering. I'm trying to incorporate some of my DSP on the insides more too (I certainly have enough of it that I don't have to be stingy). Well, that's it for me today. I'd love it if you would go see what the rest of the DT at 52CCT has made this week to share with you - very FABulous! I hope that you will decide to join us this week as I can't wait to see what you make!!
I see that the April challenge over at Christmas Cards All Year Round is to use a Christmas tree somewhere on your card - so I'm entering this card for that challenge as well.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me today - I'm sure glad that you did. Til next time... hugs and happy crafting! D
Love the traditional colours on your card. The dotty tree is just super! Love the way you've carried the greeting from outside to inside!
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike Danielle - we both reached for Scentsational Season for this week's sketch challenge! I love the traditional red and green combo and the glitter brads add such a festive touch to your lovely card! Full marks for a prettily decorated inside too! Have a great weekend hun! Ruth x
ReplyDeleteThis card has both a traditional and modern feel to it - a really great mix!

This is so fun, Danielle! LOVE the repeated sentiment that finishes on the inside--fabulous! I love the tree theme, too! HUGS and have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the traditional colors and tree images. The swirly design in the patterned paper under the trees reminds me of the old-fashioned "ribbon" hard candy. Nice job, Danielle!
ReplyDeleteI really like that sketch, too, Danielle, but I really LOVE what you did with it! Everywhere I look there are sensational details!!
ReplyDeleteI love your cute card, Danielle. Looks like we had the same idea for the row of trees on this sketch :) Super cool that you decorated the inside to and that sentiment is great... "merry merry merry merry" and then you open it for the big reveal: "CHRISTMAS!"
ReplyDeleteLove your dotty christmas trees and the layout is fab. Thanks for joining us at CCAYR.
