Its Maria Therese's sketch over at the Sugar Bowl challenge this week, and the optional extra is CAS (Clean and Simple).
One lucky winner of this challenge will have their choice of 4 stamps (or 6 stamps, if we reach 100+ entries) either from the new release or any stamps from the Sugar Nellie range at
I used Old St Nick and coloured him using my promarkers in brown to create a sepia look. I cut him and the mat out using my deckled rectangles from Spellbinders. I used the same promarkers and my airbrush to create the rolled paper, and then stamped the poem Twas the night before Christmas onto it, before rolling and tying with hemp twine. The layered snowflakes behind are cut from SU Crumb cake and kraft papers (I blame my lovely SB DT buddy Erika for the slight obsession I have with Spellbinders dies at the moment!!). i stamped the sentiment and added some flat backed pearl to finish.
