It's time for another Christmas Card. This week we were given a sketch to use which I absolutely love! I know I'll be using it again and again! It allows for a lot of pattern paper and is just very pleasing on the eyes. Go check out the sketch and the other team members wonderful creations at the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long Blog. So this week we had to use the sketch AND we could only use eyelets on our card!!! Okay I'll admit at first I freaked out - I mean no ribbon??? What am I too do? I use that just about as much as I use pattern paper, lol! But then I looked at my embellishment containers and saw all those eyelets that I just had to purchase back in the day and thought "come on Michelle you can do this". So I did :o)
My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. I found a large square card really allowed for the different papers. Plus my stamped image is pretty large. I've had this beautiful set for quite a while and have never used it. It kind of intimidated me but I've got to tell you it's an AWESOME set - so fun to color!! This is one of the beautiful angels from the Just Dream set by TAC. The pattern paper is all from KI (love those bright, fun colors!). Below is a close up of the angel:
I colored her with my Copics and added glitter to her wings. I used 6 eyelets on the card - 3 black ones on the black cardstock strip and 3 flowers by the angel. I made my sentiment say "wishing you" so that on the inside I can put "a Merry Christmas" or "peace, hope & love" or something similar.
So what do you think? Do you like her? I'm already ready to use her for another card! Thanks so much for looking!

How adorable. :) I love the stripey stockings....a personal favorite of mine. :)
Great looking card - love the new take on the traditional christmas colors.
Wow, such a pretty card, Michelle! You did an AWESOME job with the sketch. Love all the different dps that you used. I think it's a great sketch to reduce your scrap pile! LOL!
I know . . .it was hard not to use a ribbon! LOL! I think that's the reason why the sketch had so many layers. . .sort of to make up for the lack of ribbon or other embellishments.
bEautiful job coloring the image. . .it's a pretty image and the colors you used are fabulous!!
