Good morning!
I gave myself 10 minutes to make a card last night, it ended up taking 15 minutes…not quite thrilled with it but my husband said he liked it.
I combined the sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and the color challenge at Create with Connie & Mary.
I knew when I saw the color challenge that I wanted to make a Christmas card. Since I needed quick and easy, I picked out Best of Christmas to use the ornament. I originally wanted to use a large sentiment but my favorite Christmas Messages set was MIA. The base looked too plain for me so I used the Dotty Angles stamp set for the first time. To add a bit of sparkle, I tied a gold ribbon bow 🙂
Here is the sketch I used (rotated it)~
and the color challenge~
Have a great day!

I think your card turned out darling. Love that you turned the sketch and add the dots at the bottom. They really tie in with the textured border. Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

I like how the stamped dots and embossed dots coordinate with each other. Turning the sketch on its side is a fun touch. Thanks for sharing your card with us at CAS – Colours & Sketches!
