Over at the SOME ODD GIRL Blog the challenge for September is a sketch. This one in fact –
Such a pretty sketch and I’ve a pretty digi image just screaming out to be used. Here is my Christmas card for the challenge –
Instead of having a scalloped edge I have snowflakes popping over the edge of the sentiment panel and instead of a rectangular panel on the right of the card I’ve attached a sparkly flourish. Can you see the similarity to the sketch? I hope so. Sometimes cards don’t exactly meet your expectations but this card does – I’m really pleased with the outcome.
Card recipe –
- Digi image – Some Odd Girl “Angel”
- Coloured with Copics
- Kraft card & white card – Bazzill
- Paper – My Mind’s Eye “All is Bright”
- Snowflakes – Martha Stewart punches
- Flourish – Magnolia Doohickeys
- Glitter
Another Christmas card done and dusted to add to my small stash.
Bye for now,

Such a beautiful card! I love the glitter on her wings and eyelashes, it’s like she’s been out in a snowfall and snowflakes landed on her…

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I thought this digi stamp suited the soft colours well and I had to add some glitter of course 🙂

Thank you. I had seen someone use a snowflake border punch on a card and loved it. Because I don’t have a border punch I just punched different snowflakes and popped them under the edge of the paper and that worked ok for me.
