Two weeks in a row I completed Sparkle's Christmas card challenge! This is her week #7 challenge, it was a sketch challenge. Feeling pretty good that I have 2 cards done for next year, lets see if I can keep up with it!These stamps are from Magnolia. Sad thing is I never even used the fireplace stamp, and I've had it for over a year. At least now it's been put to good use, I think it's really cute, too. I think the red bows could use a touch of stickles, I may have to go back and add a bit more sparkle. Have to use it again soon!
Hope to be back tomorrow with some more timely cards, lol. Probably Valentines. Thanks for stopping by today, have a good one.

Love this card! Makes me want to lay in front of a fireplace with a good book! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI love this Tilda and the fireplace stamp- great Christmas card. The scene is so cozy!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat Magnolia card Kathy! Isn't it nice to get started early!? I do Sparkle's challenge too and last year I managed to have over 50 cards done by sometime in October - I still needed more, but was way ahead of the game compared with other years! I also found that I was able to spend more time on each one and add more detail, which was fun!
ReplyDeleteHope you can keep it up! :)
Cheers,

What a cute christmas card. Love how you have her placed in front of the fireplace. And I am going to have to look for that ms border punch, I've seen it used so often on wonderful creations I think its calling my name.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so pensive.... This turned out really cute!
ReplyDeleteThis card makes me want to celebrate Christmas again! It's so cute! You did a fantastic job and should be very proud of yourself.
ReplyDeleteSo cute - I don't have any Tilda stamps but I am thinking of getting this one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I love the little details and how much they really make the card come to life!

Awww, Kathy, she is so cute! Beautiful card and great coloring! Blessings to you!
ReplyDeletehow cute!!!! Amazing coloring!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to start on your Christmas cards ahead of time - I think I'll work on mine too :)
Awesome job on Sparkle's sketch, Kathy! And I am ashamed to say that I, too, have that fireplace and it is also yet to be used. You've inspired me with this great scene; now I'll at least dust it off!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ribbon/punch combo; into the CASE file it goes!
Tremendous card! So so beautiful and warm!
