I spent the better part of last night and part of today trying to make a card for a particular color challenge, but I couldn't seem to make something that I was happy with. So I abandoned what I was working on and instead focused on LeAnne's color challenge at The Paper Players. These Christmas colors went perfectly with what I had in mind for the FTL sketch challenge.
This color challenge gave me an excuse to use my retired Wintergreen DSP and I also used my Artichoke Denim Jean Ribbon for the first time. I inked up the sentiment stamp from Season of Joy colored with my River Rock, Riding Hood Red, and Always Artichoke markers. And I have quite a bit of Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon so I made a little bow for the top of my tag. As I was putting this card together, I realized that my Bow-Easy has disappeared, along with one of my sanding blocks. (I suspect the kittens are behind this). So as a result I had to tie this bow by hand (oh the horror)! I could have used a fork to tie this one (as suggested by my blogging friend Jen Timko), but I was too lazy to go downstairs and get one!
Thanks for stopping by!

I love how you inked the main image with the challenge colours and made the image pop Jen. Kudos to you on using the Artichoke denim ribbon, I have struggled so far to even consider it. Thanks' for playing at The Paper Players this week.
A beautiful Christmas card.
