As in much of North America, it's blazing hot now, so why not think fondly of winter?Here's a Christmas card I made using the current sketch from Sketch Saturday. The image is colored with pencils. For the candleholder, I used a silver pencil I found when I was going through old boxes before moving them again. It's one I used to use to mark fabric for quilting, and it has a nice metallic shimmer. White Wink of Stella adds sparkle and shimmer to the snow piled on the window ledges.
This card is for these challenges:
Sketch Saturday #417
Winter Wonderland -- Add sparkle
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday -- Shimmer

ReplyDeleteI can't think fondly of winter after freezing my arse off in an office building for 9 hours a day. Or maybe I can.. at least in winter they turn on the heat and I find this card inspiring when it comes to warm thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Sandy. It's so fun seeing a Christmas card in July. LOVE it!!! Thanks so much for sharing it in our challenge. I'm so grateful to have you play along, and I hope that you will join us again real soon.
