52CCT - January #1 Sketch chall-

After visiting one of the blogs I follow, Silvia's.  Christmas has come early, she showed a card she has entered into 52 (Christmas ) Card throwdown.  Thought what the heck, I would join too.

So I have used background paper which I have had for years.  Kanban gilded card with ribbon around. Distressed tag with Fired brick, vintage photo and Walnut stain.  Tree stamp by clarity stamps which was stamped with glue and gilding flakes added.  Snowman from Graphic, stamped and coloured with distress markers.  Picket fence and snowflake from Tim Holtz dies.  Greeting added, and chrystals added around the edge.  Ta Dah....

    What a wonderful card, Francesca. Like the color choice for a Christmas card, it's a nice change from all this white and blue, it's amazing what a different feel you get about it this way. The flakes look awesome and I love the fence :-)
    Viele liebe Gruesse, Suzanne
