I love a great sketch...the simpler, the better. This one was designed for Jingle Belles by Natasha of Clean and Simple Stamping. I was super excited when I saw this challenge because I have been itching to play with my stamps and copic markers. When I sit down to create a card, I no longer think about whether or not I will stamp. I don't even notice anymore if I stamped or not. But I do notice after a while...in this case a long while...if I have been neglecting my stamps and coloring mediums. I have actually been missing them!
So I started with a small scrap of BasicGrey Blitzen paper (I love to use up scraps!) I looked through my Cricut cartridges in search of a cute border and circular frame for the image to meet the sketch challenge. Then I just started playing:
I'm not sure I managed CAS, but I had lots of fun playing. Than you for terrific sketch, Natasha; I will surely use it again.
Supplies:
Cricut cartridges: Accent Essentials p.61 shadow button (frame cut @ 2 3/4"); Winter Frolic p.57 border (cut @ 1 1/4")
paper: BasicGrey Blitzen; kraft card stock; white card stock
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Stampin' Up! Whisper White
stamps: trees (dollar bin @ ACMoore); Hero Arts Cling Dot; Savvy Stamps warm wishes
punch: Creative Memories corner rounder
markers: Copic; Uni-ball Signo white
Happy Tuesday!

I have to get going to get something created for this week's challenge! Yours is wonderful, and you enjoy clean and simple? Okay, teach me to enjoy it as well, LOL.
Your card came out beautifully; very serene and lovely with the colors and accents you've chosen. I have never used that frame from the Accent Essentials cartridge - but I like how it came out! Great coloring also!
