Pulling Sleigh

So I was struggling with the sketches in the Sept Card Sketch Challenge as they were not coming to me. I’m not a CAS card person so I was struggling this month. While I was waking up Wednesday morning this ideal came to me for Sketch #2. Instead of a banner I ripped the paper and instead of the stars I put an image there. This card ended up being CAS and I love it. I used sparkle paper from Doodlebug to represent snow and shiny paper underneath to represent the compressed snow! Hope it makes sense as to the scene I was setting!

I used the outline and colored versions of this digital stamp. I wanted presents on the sleigh but the colored version had them in pink and black and that wasn’t working for my Christmas card. I used the outline version and colored the presents in Photoshop. The girl was beautiful dressed for Christmas in one of the pre-colored images so I just cut her out and glued her on top of the outline version!

CHALLENGES:
1) September Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com – Sketch #2 – originally Seize the Sketch #11
2) Christmas Card Challenges #41 – Think Skinny. The path in the snow is skinny!
3) Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge – Choose R or E or D. You need to use something to that begins with the letter “R” or “E” or “D” or you could use more than 1
when you create your project. Examples could include:
R – Ribbon, Red, Rudoulph
E – Embossing
D – Diecut
I used Red
4) Merry Monday Christmas Challenge #125 – Transportation. Use some type of vehicle or transportation on your Christmas card. I used a sled.
