I've made a Christmas card using the Inkspirational sketch as inspiration for the layout. My aim was to make something non-cute, so I used chevron patterned paper from Simple Stories for the background and a bird stamp from 7gypsies. I stamped with black ink and added clear embossing powder to it. I used a die from Memory Box to make the music notes border, dies from Whiff of Joy to make the hollies and the Merry Christmas sentiment in Norwegian is made with a die from KaBoks. The smaller music notes are peel off stickers. I've used a black pen to make the doodled lines. The black ribbon and red pearls are from my stash.This card is for these challenges:
1) Inkspirational - #39 Sketch 2) Gem of a Challenge - #99 Use black
3) Christmas Card Challenges - #44 Anything Goes
4) Creative Craft Challenges - #19 Use Ribbon
5) ABC Christmas Challenge - S is for Stockings and/or Choose a Sketch
6) Make it Monday - Anything Goes
