I missed last week's challenge so couldn't be late again! Actually I hope to submit more than one card. You can do that too! I am also behind on my Christmas cards. That's another WM activity--so much going on over there!! Anyway, my card for the sketch challenge will also be submitted for the May Christmas challenge.
I got to use supplies that came in my last order. I had been wanting this stamp set for a long time! I've also seen a lot of very creative cards using a combination of sentiments--subway art, I believe it is called. And to meet the requirement for the May Christmas challenge, I needed to use some chipboard. I made my own by cutting six circles and gluing them together. Then I used another circle, stamped with the Santa image, and glued it on top. My chipboard piece was then mounted on a die cut circle, using the same paper as one of the background papers, and then popped up with pop dots. I used a piece of twine that Claire introduced with the last release. Love the rustic feel! The reindeer border is an EK Success punch. I cut them from Pinefeather paper, which is a very dark green, but they look even darker in the photo! They really are green!
Be sure to visit the WMSC blog and see all the other entries. There is still plenty of time for you to enter!!
Thanks for visiting!
SMILES,

This is wonderful. I love that Santa. Your subway art is terrific. I have been seeing things like that, and want to try my hand at it sometime. You did such a nice job with all those phrases.
Oh my goodness...those reindeer are so cute! I have never seen that punch before! It goes perfectly with the Santa with his pipe. How neat that you made your own chipboard and subway art too. You pulled out all the stops for the 100th sketch! Great job.
Love it Sharron!!
The sentiments...
that fabulous Santa image (I just love him!!)...
