Spoonfull of Sugar sketch

Its a sketch again for this week's Spoonfull of Sugar challenge, and I love sketches. I have rotated the sketch or this challenge to accomodate the image I want to use. My Sugar Nellie snowmen have been calling out to be played with, so here is another Christmas card.

I watercoloured the image in and matted it onto red cardstock. Having seen Samantha at Penrith Crafts emboss acetate I decided to have a go myself. I made the card from red cardstock and scalloped the left side. I attached a piece of acetate to the underside of the scalloped edge, and then added anoither piece of acetate that I embossed using my Swiss Dots folder. I would have liked to use just 1 piece of acetate but it was too large to go through the cuttlebug.

I added red and green ric rac to the top and bottom, and a piece of scallop edge red cardstock. Prima flowers and red and green wire finish it off. I added a piece of white cardstock to the back to make the card, and used this gorgeous green Bunny Bo spotty ribbon to hide the join on the inside of the card.

As it also has red on it I am going to enter it into this week's Artygirlz challenge.

I am really pleased with this - I love the embossed acetate, and will definitely have a go at this again. So my Mum and dad's Christmas card is made!
