A last minute entry for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #493!
I am really trying to get going on my Christmas cards this year so that I don't get caught without enough when the busiest time of the year comes.
I purchased the the Merry Moments stamp set last Christmas and I didn't have a chance to ink it up, so it was kind of fun to pull it out for the sketch. I ended up making two cards because I got lost in the process and where I had set out to use this month's colours along with the sketch...then well you know how it goes! The snow was made with the Snow Drifts Cover die which I think is retired now. The sky on both cards was made with Distress Oxide Inks and splattered with watered down Perfect Pearls and white acrylic paint to mimic a snowy sky!
This first card uses both the sketch and the colors! The sky reminds my of the Northern Lights and the polar and santa are enjoying the view!
This card is the same, just a different sky and just based on the sketch.
Thanks for popping in today and I hope that it is anything but wintertime where you are!
