Jingle Belles Rock the Christmas Bells

I did some crafting over the weekend but had to wait to post the card as the sketch I used was incomplete so I had to wait until I was home with my snowflake punch and of course a Christmas sentiment. I'm really trying to keep up with the Jingle Belles but it has been difficult with all the appointments and luncheons not that I'm complaining about meeting with friends for lunch but all our appointments seem to be pooling the same month, once over the summer is mine. Anyway the challenge at the Jingle Belles is "Christmas Bells oh! those Christmas belles" and I found a great sketch from Christmas Card Throwdown and it was perfect for the image I chose.

Of course a super cute image from House Mouse Designs, I think this is the first time I have used this "new" to me stamp.  My picking of items to take to the lake seemed to work well other than the two snowflakes for the embellishments for the sketch.

Close up of the super cute mousie I think it is mudpie (stamp still at the lake)  check out his paperclip skates. 

Finished inside and one more for my stash.

I followed a sketch from Stella says Sketch at Catch the bug, it was perfect. I coloured with my spectrum noir and copics.

I cut the feather outside the oval and put some stardust stickles on it.

I have no idea if this will be a birthday or just a Hello card so no sentiments on it. I use one of the scraps from the patterned paper on the inside too.

The challenge at Shopping Our Stash is an inspiration picture, Head over to the blog and get all the information on the challenge and check out what the other members of the design team have made. I chose to go with the colours of the picture pallet along with a couple more items. My image was a RAK and I have no idea who’s image it is.

Now here is the inspiration picture:from pinterest. check it out HERE.
 

I went with the colours, buttons and I thought the “busy” background paper reminded me of the buttons in the clock.

Close up of the tag and buttons, I added the gold cord to the buttons and the tag.

The inside of the card just waiting for a sentiment. I think this card is perfect for almost any occasion.
