Here's a simple Christmas card using some scraps of patterned papers. This card was inspired by a few challenges, including the Jingle Belles' masculine challenge and the Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch. Masculine cards often have images of nature, such as a plant, without too much fru-fru or embellishments, so this fits that bill, I think. All the patterned paper panels are edged in red ink to give them some definition. The sentiment circle is popped up on foam tape.
This card is entered in these challenges:
Jingle Belles -- masculine merriment
Double Trouble #223-- 3 patterned papers, two sizes of holly die-cuts, 1 sentiment + TSOT sketch + popped up item (sentiment circle)
TSOT -- sketch #702
Simon Says Stamps Wednesday -- going around in circles
Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2633-- anything goes
Word Art Wednesday #766 -- anything goes
Digi Chooseday -- anything goes
Polkadoodles challenge -- anything goes
Gem of a Challenge -- anything goes
Fun holiday card!
