A Sketchy Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I saw the sketch at Jingle Belles, I thought of this set of
Ephemera and patterned paper that I bought several years ago.


I am so bad about using my patterned paper but this time, I made myself cut into it!

The bauble was from a matching ephemera set.  It has a beautiful sheen to it.
I would love a bauble like this to put on my tree.

Challenges:
Jingle Belles - Sketch
Peace on Earth - See the deer on the mood board?
Love Those Pretty Papers - ATG using decorative paper. Did not use the Summer option

Ink:   Real Red
Paper:   Neenah Natural, Winter Valley DP (Stamperia), Real Re

Bonnie, your paper is so happy to come out to play! TOO pretty to stay unused a moment longer - and I love the vintage Christmas feel of that pretty bauble! OH, the bow! The perfect finishing touch!

Like you, I have such a hard time cutting into my patterned paper. But I must use some of it up!! Love the ornament - such a sweet scene. Thank you so much for joining us at Peace on Earth.

This is very pretty Bonnie with the starry sky dp and the plainer deckle edge, with the pretty scenic bauble on the top and love the added red bow too. x

Love the papers, so fun once you get over cutting and see it shine in a card.
