Well, I'm still making Xmas cards! Today I was inspired by several challenges. I stamped sheet music in brown on lilac cardstock and adhered it to cover a white card base. I embossed green cardstock with snowflakes and mounted on the lilac. I embossed a brown cardstock panel with swirls and mounted on the green. I die-cut an eyelet circle from lilac cardstock and affixed it to the brown panel. Next I stamped the skating hedgehog in black on watercolour paper, coloured with watercolour markers, mounted on brown, lilac, and green cardstock, and affixed to card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment in brown on watercolour paper and affixed to the card with pop dots. Lastly I embellished with a copper stocking charm, tied in a bow with lilac string. Here are the supplies I used:
- Sketch: Sketchy Colors (see below)
- Stamps: Hedgehog (Penny Black "Christmas Critters"), sentiment (Penny Black "The Wonder"), sheet music (Judi-kins)
- Ink: StazOn Black (Tsukineko), Ancient Page Chocolate (Clearsnap)
- Watercolour Markers: Tombow
- Watercolour Paper: Canson
- Cardstock: Stampin' Up, Recollections, Dollarama
- Embossing Folders: Cuttlebug Snowflakes and D'vine Swirl
- Die: Spellbinders Eyelet Circles
- Copper Charm: Added Touch
- String: Dollarama

Hello! I was just going through my list of people to comment on over at Digi Darla's and noticed that you had entered and while someone else will be coming over to comment on behalf of DD, I just wanted to pop over and check out your card. I love how you used the Christmas sheet music on your pieces and that sweet little hedge hog is coloured in so beautifully. I've had the opportunity to scan through some of your other posts and you are a wonderful card maker and colourer. I really hope that you will consider the DT call we have going on over at Creative Bug on the Loose. We'd be very lucky to have someone like you on our team. If you are interested you can find out more details by going here: http://scrapbookingforbeginners-naomi.blogspot.ca/2013/07/first-ever-dt-call-for-creative-bug.html
