3rd GDT for Christmas Card Challenges

Good morning lovelies - I trust you are all keeping warm - we are although our snow is minimal - may be more will come today.....

Over at christmascardchallenges they have a sketch challenge today - I've used my favourite Christmas stamp from Stampendous for it - you'll see this a few times over the next year - this time I've gone for a more red and white colour scheme. What do you think?







I used pan pastels to colour the sky for the image and promarkers for the cottage windows - there's glitter on the ground but its not showing up too well. The papers behind are Tim Holtz and the flowers and leaves are WOC. The sentiment is from the LOTV grunge christmas sentiments. The ribbon and charm are ribbon girls. I've used a die to cut the shape of the card from pearlescent card and also to cut the mount from the Tim Holtz paper.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

disdigidesignschallenge: Winter
jinglebellesrock: Red and White
Winterwonderlandchristmasblogchallenge: Vintage
papertakeweekly: Baby its cold outside
craftascene: snowy cottage 

Thanks for popping by today - hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope to see you again soon.

Big Hugs

Rachel xx
