We have a really great sketch designed by Cheryl this week, along with a fun twist! Here's a look at the sketch...

...and the twist - create a non-traditional Christmas card using the sketch. This week is also our judged challenge... the design team will be voting on our favorite entries this week, so bring your A-game! You have a chance at winning a prize from our fabulous sponsor - Close To My Heart Consultant, Debi.

Theresa generously provided the team with some great CTMH stamps to work with this week. I got to ink up a fun, whimsical set called Christmas Cheer. I originally thought I would use the Santa image that comes with the set, but as soon as the stamps were in my hands, I knew this tree would be perfect for the sketch! I went with a non-traditional color combo... I found some scraps of Bo Bunny Double Dot in Kiwi and Passion Fruit, and I think they worked perfectly together for my girly Christmas card!

Supplies: Hammermill White CS; Wausau Black CS; Bo Bunny Double Dot Kiwi, Passion Fruit;

Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Tart, Rose Bud Inks; Recollections Extra Fine Glitter; Ribbon;

OMGosh, this card is AWESOME! The shading you did on the tree is beautiful and I love the lime green and pink colors. I've seen this tree used several times now, and even though it's too late to use it for this year, I may have to buy it. It's very cool looking.
