Starry Holly

-
One of my sons is sick today... so I'm home with him even if I had a huge day at work... I guess I'll have even more tomorrow.

So I just had to play again at Meljen's with their sketch.  I used a wonderful digi called Starry Holly.

I kept this card really CAS... I usually go all out... not this time.  I used paper from American Craft - Jolly and some American Craft - Dear Lizzy buttons.

I colored the image with my copics and added some stickles to the stars.
Here's a wonderful sentiment from Create with TLC it's part of the set here.

For this card I decided to play along with some wonderful colors from Dynamic Duos!  I had not played in forever!
And I followed the sketch over at Meljen's 


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
  1. 365 cards - CAS
  2. Dynamic duos challenge - Colors shown above
  3. Kaboodle doodles - Use circles in anyway
  4. Word art wednesday - Anything goes - God's goodness (just discovered this awesome challenge through someone posting on my blog!)
  5. Meljens designs - sketch challenge
  6. Simon says stamps- anything goes
I really love how this card has turned out.  What do you think?

Hugs

Vicky

    I'm so loving this card. I think you did a fantastic job on keeping it simple. The American Craft paper is so interesting that more could easily detract away from it. :D You definitely a great job with the holly and ofc the Create with TLC sentiment is gorgeous and goes perfectly! Thank you so much for joining us this week at Meljen's Designs Vicky! Love seeing your work.
