Sketch Week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown

By
It's a new month at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and it's my turn to choose the challenges. This week I have a sketch for you


For my first card I have followed the sketch precisely - matting and layering some embossed card stock with a simple Christmas image stamped and coloured with Promarkers


The stamp is from the Papermania Baubles set and the white card stock has been through my Cuttlebug in embossing folders.
My second card is a bit more involved, I have rotated the sketch and done more stamping and inking - take a look


My image is from Hero Arts and I sponged a background as well as adding some stamping to the card stock at the side. Thin strips of card stock were punched with a scallop edge and I added gems to the corners.
Can't wait to see what everyone else does with my sketch - perhaps I will see you over there. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
