Sketch Challenge over at CDAC

Hi and Happy Halloween and Blessed Sunday! Another Christmas card for my stash! YAY! Slow and steady wins the race! This is for a sketch challenge at CDAC hosted by Pamela Clark from Firecracker Designs. Pamela has generously offered this image along with a group of packages and a Merry Christmas sentiment as a freebie for us to use in this sketch challenge. I love the way this bough and ornaments looks, so I wanted to focus on this image alone. All papers are from my scrap stash. Sentiment is preprinted chipboard from Creating Keepsakes stash I bought years ago from QVC. The copper areas are done with press and peel foil from Plaid. Gems and brads are from my embelly collection.

This image is colored with Copics. The bough and the ornaments were printed twice and layered for dimension. All the black doodling on this card are hand done by me. The tiny dots are glittery gel pen. Foil was used to hang the ornaments and on some of the doodling around the bough and also to accent the ornaments. The little bows are done with SU copper cord. This is a close up of the right side of the card. I added gems to the sentiment and placed it on a scalloped circle which I punched with the SU punch. I also did some hand doodling along the panel here. The copper foil didn't turn out perfectly. It bugs me, but I think I can deal with it. This may be a Christmas card, but I'm gearing up for some Halloween treats tonight. How 'bout you?
