Inkspiration Challenge #10

Wow - I'm totally on fire this week with having more than one post! lol

Hope you've all had a great week - we sure have! While we haven't done a whole lot , the time I've spent with my kids has been so much fun and I've enjoyed every moment! I can't believe the holidays are almost over and I have to get back to some kind of normal routine - that is something I'm not looking forward to I have to admit! lol

Okey dokey, so this week Keesh has provided us with a wonderful sketch to work with and one I will definitely be using again for sure! Thanks Keesh!

I decided since we're now in July, it was time to make at least one Christmas Card!! At least then when someone says to me "Have you started on your chrissy cards yet?", I can truthfully say "You betcha booties I have!! lol

So, for my card, I've used a mixture of papers from the Holiday Treasures pack, and teamed it up with Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip! I wanted the bauble to be the main feature on my card and so I've hung it ever so delicately from the branch using linen thread! The "branch" is the tall tree from the Lovely As A Tree set!

The sentiment, which I personally really love is from the Snow Swirled stamp set, and as a bauble decoration, I used one of the stamps from the Circle Circus set! So as you can see, it's very much a mix and match kinda card! The large Very Vanilla bauble I cut out using my Creative Memories cutting system just in case your wondering how I got such a big circle!

To finish it off, I've just done a bit of paper piercing and added some lovely Vanilla Taffeta Riboon!

So there ya go, this weeks challenge is done and dusted! Thanks so much Keesh for that great sketch - I loved it! I'm off now, to check out the gorgeous creations the other girls have done. I really look forward to Fridays to see what they've been up to!
