Day 7 - 12 Days of Sketches

What a wonderful Christmas we had here. Had a nice relaxing Boxing Day and yesterday went to the BIL's for our small Christmas gathering. DS3 didn't want to come home. LOL. Typical but we have to come home sometime. Hehehe. They love their Uncle.

Hmmm my card. I really love how this turned out. I decided that I needed to use one of my Twinkle Tots that has not seen any ink. Shock horror. I have just bought so many stamps lately. Gotta curb my spending. LOL. Anyway - this is for The Greeting Farm 12 Days of Sketches - Day 7. I love this sketch and thought I would try something a little different when doing the image. I stamped her twice and cut out the oval with my nestie. When I coloured the bottom image I only coloured around the edges where you can see the image (see bottom photo). I wanted to do this instead of whacking her on the oval just to make the card a little bit more special. I got a stipple brush and some ink and inked the whole oval including the image at the bottom.
The brads on the flowers were coloured with a Copic marker to match the pink of her dress.
It is the Boxing Day holiday here in Australia. Hubby has the day off again today and is having a sleep in. Hopefully I will be able to pop down to the big Scrapbooking store today and pick up some more DP. Have a good one.

Products: TGF stamp; October Afternoon DP; Card; Nesties; Lace ribbon from MDU; SU ribbon and button; Prima flowers; brads; SU ink; Stipple brush.
