Hello friends - here it is November already. Wow! Our hostess for this whole month at 52CCT is Louise and she has started us off with a great sketch.
I LOVE the circle shapes and the diagonal lines of this sketch. Here's what I made to share with and inspire you to play along with us this week at 52CCT:
I knew immediately which stamp set I wanted to use with this great sketch. Who can resist a cute Santa? Not me!
I know that the rest of the DT members over at 52CCT have also made some amazing cards using Louise's sketch to share with and inspire you to play along with us this week - please go visit them and say "hi". I hope to be visiting you soon as well!
I'm also entering my card in my DT friend Nonni's new Challenge (which runs through December 24th) called Let's Get Inky where the theme for the first challenge is Stamp a Happy Christmas. That means to create a Christmas card where stamping plays a main role. Since Santa is my main stamped image I thought this would fit for her challenge.
I am also entering my card at Merry Monday #81 - Santa.

ReplyDeleteHi Danielle, you are right, this sure is perfect for my stamping challenge! I love that Santa, he looks so friendly and it's so refreshing that you didn't use the regular black or brown inks for him! Great vintage feel here. Thanks for joining my Christmas stamping challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful version of the sketch! I love sketches, and when I saw this one I found it a really tough one. But seeing your vintage Santa card I got inspired and I'm hoping I'll find the time to make one too...

ReplyDeleteI really like the warm plaid background - it's wonderful with that jolly Santa image!
ReplyDeleteSorry for my very late comment, I've not been well over the last week and I've not been up to doing much at all. I looked at this DP for my card but couldn't get it to work for me, but here it's fab, wish I'd stuck with it now! Santa looks so jolly and I love the rich red colours. A fantastic take on the sketch, I LOVE it!
