Today I'm playing along with Rudolph Days, a Christmas card challenge that runs every month from the 25th to the end of the month. I decided to combine it with the sketch challenge at Less Is More. As soon as I saw the sketch, I thought Christmas card. :)
I used a piece of smooshed alcohol inks that I had in my stash for the background colour. I die-cut the curves, placed them over the AI piece and then added a sparkly die-cut snowflake and a few clear sequins. The sentiment is stamped in soft gray. Easy, peasy CAS design. I will be making more of these! :)
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Thank you for all the inspiration you have given in your beautiful cards full of fun techniques! I sure appreciate you! Hugs!

What a gorgeous Christmas card .... love the inky panel and the sparkly snowflake. Hope you had a lovely birthday ...... there is a card in the post (or at least there will be tomorrow!) sorry it's late. Belated birthday hugs xx
Perfect sketch for a piece of AI! Love the glittery snowflake and the sentiment.
But beautiful card !! I love the hazy background and the gray sentiment. You always hit the dots with color choices. I would probably use black and therefore my card would be much uglier. I still have a lot to learn from you :-) nice that I have such a wonderful teacher. Thank you :-)
Hugs xx
