I just love Fridays don't you?? Not only does that mean it's the end of another working week BUT it also means that the Just Add Ink girls have another challenge up for us and I have really enjoyed playing along for the last few weeks! Thank you so much to everyone who stops by and leaves me a comment - I get such a buzz out of reading them!:)
Ok, so today the girls have a fabo sketch challenge for us and I just LOVE IT!! Even though it is kind of in landscape orientation, I did work with it (GO ME!!) and was really happy with what I produced. It was a pretty quick card to make too- probably 20 minutes tops! I know your probably thinking that's so not quick - but that's seriously quick for me! lol
Okey Dokey, so here's the sketch!
And here's what I came up with!
Here's a close up of the pointsettia too - that was probably the element that took the longest to do on this card!
I've now made Christmas card number 2, and while this one isn't one that would be ideal to post - it's still one I've completed, so that's all that matters, right??
Have a great day everyone, I'm off to try and do the Sweet Sunday sketch now and boy does that one have me stumped!

Wow Karen, how do you do it? Every card you make is a knockout! Just love this one too :) What a perfect Christmas card. I will have to keep this idea for when I get around to making mine ;) Goodness knows I have a lot of xmas paper hoarded away!

Just checking the entries for this challenge Karen! Love your card - great oolours together. That DSP is so pretty and the flower matches it all nicely!
Oooh, I love this! It's going straight into my CASE file! Love it!
And 20 minutes is SUPER fast! It takes me that long to choose my DSP!
I'll keep coming back for the pure fact you're reminding me that Christmas cards won't make themselves, LOL! And YAY YOU on a landscape card - I've read your previous posts about this dilemma so again, WOOT WOOT! That flower is gorgeous - is there definition on the inside of the petals as well? Is that stamped? Just beautiful!
Hi Kaz,
Just LOVE it! If only you were joining us for Christmas in July! Be thinking of ya.
Love Ny
Just wonderful - it has the Karen signature style - gorgeously classy

I'd just like to add my sentiments to the flood of comment love you've received already on this one, Karen. I LOVE IT!! That flower is just gorgeous - I reckon it's almost enough to get me over my aversion to poinsettias!! Will definitely be CASEing this one; it's brilliant!
Wow Karen it's fabulous! We should all get a start on our Christmas cards.
BEAUTIFUL CARD KAREN! Stopped me dead in my tracks again as I am trying to catch up on about 1,000 blog posts after convention. I'm so HAPPY you are BLOGGING again! You just made my life so much easier. LOL Talk to you again soon!
Ohhhh what a gorgeous card, sorry, but I am so CASEing this one (will let you know how it turns out)! I love the I Wish DSP & adore what you've done with it, thanks for sharing
