Sleigh Ride Fun - Stampin' Up! Festive & Fun

  I've been having a terrible time lately creating anything that I like so I was just messing about yesterday trying to spark something with a variety of supplies and I created this card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. Can't say that I love the end results but hopefully I'm on my way to recovery because I didn't toss it right in the trash lol!

  I definitely struggled with all of that open space at the bottom of the sketch!  I started with a Lemon Lime Twist card base and stamped a few little stars in Granny Apple Green ink on the bottom portion to add something but keep it on the clean and open side per the challenge guidelines.  The star stamp can be found in the Merry & Bright stamp set.

  The animals are part of the Festive & Fun stamp set and are stamped in Memento black onto Basic White cardstock.  I stamped the image to the right side and up a bit from the bottom to leave room for the other elements of the sketch.

  I colored in the scene with Stampin' Blends markers trying to keep with colors that are in the Merry Bold & Bright DSP.  To tie the colors together with other parts of the card I used a narrow bit of the Merry Bold & Bright DSP along the left side of the panel and a strip of Pool Party along the bottom with the sentiment stamped on it in the same color ink (I would probably use black instead if I were to do this design again since the Pool Party is a bit light.)

  The last thing I added to the card front are a few Iridescent adhesive-backed discs sprinkled amongst the stars.

  All of the items used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.  

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
