No I haven't got the measles! But my card for today is red and has spots. Have you ever bought a stamp set that you really liked the look of but then found you never use it and when you do you are not happy with the result? I have several of those sets and today's card is made using one of them. I bought Papertrey Ink's Believe set several years ago and have only ever used a couple of the sentiments in it. So I thought I would have a go at using one of the images, and this Santa seemed perfect for today's card. Somehow though I don't seem to be able to do poor Santa justice as I am not very good at colouring with promarkers.
Oh well I guess this set will go back on the shelf and not be used for a few more years. I made this card for a couple of challenges,

Lovely Christmas card, Sarah. Super image. I really like the zig zag stitching around your frame. I have two sewing machines, but have never used them on paper/card. They were both very expensive and I'm scared of causing some damage.
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas card, I really like PTI too but never bought anything from them!! That red coat is so large you could always try paper piecing it?
