Here's to the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge this week! I was challenged… very challenged…no kidding. A beautiful clean and simple sketch it is, and it did what it was supposed to do…challenge! So, pull out your card stock, stamps and ink, and link up with us for this one.

My last blog post featured the Color Me Christmas stamp set. I had so much fun with that card, I wanted to use the set again. Yesterday, I chose the gift packages and today, the Christmas tree. 

  • The stamps are bold and cute and are begging for color. For this one, out came my Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Markers and I colored away and fussy cut the tree.
  • I cut lots of layers and hand cropped my banner from Season of Style DSP stack.
  • I had all intentions of putting the tree in exactly the spot you see it, but when I placed all my card pieces together, it just wasn't right. That little focal point needed something more. Of course, I went right to my Circles Collection Framelits, cropped a few circles in some different colors and decided to go with two circles in Crushed Curry. I was happy with the result. Once again, the "Rule of Thirds"…there are three elements in my Sweet Spot which is also my Focal Point. It all worked. How cool is that!
  • My sentiment is from Sweet Essentials, which has a soft, relaxed font.

Thanks for stopping by today,
