I created two cards from the Jingle Belles sketch this week! My first attempt wasn't the traditional color scheme I wanted to use, as that wouldn't have worked well for the images I selected. It also seemed to work better if the sketch was upside down:
stamp sets - Itty Bitty Christmas, Snowfront; ink - Garden Green, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede; card stock - Basic White thick & regular; Garden Green, Seaside Spray; Stampin' Emboss - Old World Paper
Since I started out thinking of a traditional color scheme, I tried again with different images from the same stamp sets. This time I kept the sketch right side up:
stamp sets - Itty Bitty Christmas, Snowfront; ink - Poppy Parade, Soft Suede; card stock - Crumb Cake, Just Jade, Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla; Stampin' Emboss - Subtle
Last year I put off making Christmas cards until, I think September, but once I started I never stopped and had extras. This year I've done a bit better, and with the extras, I already have a small stash of twelve!
