Holiday Cheer


A Christmas card!  Yes!  I finally got around to making one thanks to the inspiration at The Challenge.  I know that nothing about the sketch or colours is particularly Christmasy but somehow it sent me off in that direction so I went with it.  Thank goodness.  The first Christmas card is always the hardest for me.  Once that one's out of the way I can really start cranking them out.  And maybe next year I'll actually join in with one of those weekly Christmas challenges.  I look at them dutifully every week and then proceed to ignore them. Perhaps next year will be different…

    Hooray for the first Christmas card! I've been ignoring those challenges, too. ;) Luckily, once I start making Christmas cards, it's all I want to do. I think taking the colours and the sketch gave you a cool, modern and terrific card! (Besides, there is red, after all...)

    Hello Jen!! My you have nailed a fun Christmas card that really makes the sketch sing! Perfection in the trees with the baubles on them and the fun banner and strip. So glad that you have joined in The Challenge, and that you took a step in the way of Christmas cards! I have to make one every week or so... I think it is the glitter!!! Though I don't do the glitter so much myself, it just catches my eye! LOL!
