Lots of Layers at Cards in Envy

Today is a new challenge at Cards in Envy.

It is called Layers Challenge or commonly called Lots of Layers.

Remember  use an A2 size card with lots of layers.  Also remember it needs to be relatively flat (no bumpy or lumpy things sticking up).  It needs to fit into a normal envelope and use regular postage only.

 So I had this paper that matched in my scraps pile, took out a doily by Martha Stewart, used some twine, and then SRM sentiment.  This is what I came up with:

I would love to see you come over and play with us.  You know you use layers all the time.  Come give it a try.

My first Christmas Card at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog

Well, it is time for another post from Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog.
Today s Challenge #10 -- A Little Bit Sketchy.  It is sponsored by Starry Nights Studio Sketch, who is offering 4 digi images to the winner.  The challenge runs July 15 - July 28.

This one has a sketch that you must do along with a stamp or digi on the card.
Here is the sketch: 

and here is what I did: 

I used the digi "On a Winter's Day" and ran it off on vellum and backed it with white paper, type out a sentiment on vellum in a text box, used some sparkly Christmas snowflake buttons, and added a red ribbon for accent.  This is a start on my start with Christmas Cards.
