I discovered a new card challenge by following a link on someone's post. I can't remember who now. (I went looking and it was Kath with this beautiful card. And so many more on her blog).
This suits my idea of not leaving all my Christmas cards until the last minute (and then not having enough and so not sending them - two years ago). I have a couple made so far but I'm hoping to make a few more over the coming weeks.
I managed to make this one in between coming home from work and cooking so that was a good use of time and it came together fairly quickly for me.
This week it is:
To pick a previous sketch from the archive.
I started off using one sketch but it finished up loosly based on another! It morphed from Sketch 4 to Sketch 1.
I hope you think it is close enough to count. I was just pleased to finish something I was pleased with and nothing went in the bin!
The wreath stamp is Inky Doodles coloured with gel pens. Then I added a bit of stitching. It seems I can't make anything without stiching just now.
I hope you like it. I am pleased with the simplicity and the colours.
