Today at the Jingle Belle blog we've got a rock-star Guest Star joining us ... the fabulous Amy Tsuruta of Tsuruta Designs and the fabulous Flashback Friday Challenge. Amy is bringing our first Jingle Belles Sketch prompt.
So many possibilities with this great sketch. I decided to use my Artistic Outpost Ephemeral Background Ledger image as a Christmas Tree background. I stamped the ledger, punched out my tree, and added an adhesive pearl garland. I paired my tree with wonderful Webster's Pages Papers & the Stampin' Up Top Note die cut (love that faux stitched border).
I finished with lots of ink sponging & a sentiment from Artistic Outpost's Snowy Woods. Here's a close-up of my ledger tree.
So skip on over to Jingle Belles to see more fabulous sketch cards from Lauren & Amy and to create your own fabulous holiday card using Amy's sketch (and remember this is your last chance to get your name into the January prize drawing.
Fabulous card Steph...and a great use of these papers. I have some, but have been hesitant to use this image. You've really inspired me!
