Saturday Waltzingmouse Sketch - WMSC23

Welcome my friends! I haven't been posting as much as usual this week, lots of things going on in my life right now and I'm trying to juggle it all. I'm having some elective surgery next week and I had to go off of an anti-inflammatory medication I take for the arthritis I have in my knees and now my whole body is aching!

I love this CAS (clean and simple) sketch we have today, don't you? It's nice to have a simple one that you can do that way or embellish if you're in the mood! Here's the card I created from our sketch today.

I used the front and back of the same Graphic 45 patterned paper for the background. I just love the fleur de lis -style pattern on it as well as the colors - a little dark for the holidays but still festive I think?

I stamped my ornament from Vintage Ornaments, cut and embossed it with my ornament nestability and then sponged the edges. The sentiment is from Seasons of Love and I used a text stamp from Text It for the background. It's cut and embossed with a Deckled Edge Mega Rectangle Nestability and I sponged it before taking it out of the die.

Then I just stapled a piece of twill on the ornament and added a few rhinestones for some shimmer. I used foam dimensionals to pop up the ornament.

Another Christmas card DONE!
