Willow Sketchie Challenge

Good morning everyone, it's my turn to host the challenge at Willow Sketchie this week.  This is the sketch that I have designed.


You can use anything from your crafty stash and it's OK to rotate the sketch or re-size the elements as long as the original sketch layout can be recognised.

This week the Design Team all used the 'Dear Santa' image which is available from the Willow Designs Shop and this is my card.


I decided to try something a bit different and went for a black and white colour scheme, I just added the smallest bit of red.  The backing paper is from my Bearly Mine Designs CD and I embossed some black card stock using a Darice Embossing Folder.  To finish the card I added some red gems and stamped a sentiment.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.



Image:  Willow Designs - Dear Santa
Papers: Bearly Mine Designs
Tools:  Spellbinders - Classic Squares (inside card)
Embellishments:  gems from stash
Sentiment: Crafter's Companion - The Snowman

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges

Whimsy Stamps Challenge 3 - Anything Goes with a Sentiment
Hooked on Craft Challenges 6 - Things with Wings
Marks Finest Papers Challenge Week 69 - Emboss It
Crafty Anne's Challenge 47 -Scallops and/or Fancy Borders
Just Some Lines - Embossing
   
Don't forget to pop over to the Willow Sketchie Challenge Blog and see what the other DT members have created.  Do have a go at this weeks challenge, you never know you might win a lovely prize.  Also take a look in the Willow Designs Shop, everything is FREE P&P.

Thank you for looking, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.
