SFYTT - November 7, 2009

Here's the card I made for this week's "Sketch For You To Try." You can see the original sketch HERE.

I used a set of alphabet stamps ("Holiday Clear Stamps" from Walmart...$1) to spell out the sentiment, "Happy Holidays." And, I just love this "Carrying Tree Riley" stamp from Hanna Stamps!! Isn't he adorable?!? I also used a Stardust clear glitter pen (Sakura) to add a bit of twinkle to the snowflakes. Here's a close-up:

The tan panel is actually art felt that I had left over from a project I did with my elementary students. I stitched it with red floss. I am no seamstress, that's for sure, but it looks okay, right?

I wanted to add a comfy, cozy feel to the card. Here's a close-up:

Hope you like my creation! I still have yet to figure out my design for my holiday cards---YIKES!! Better get busy!
