Merry Christmas

Saved by a sketch again!  I had this image printed out and coloured and lost my mojo.  Then I saw the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it was just the inspiration that I needed.

Tuesday Morning Sketch - Sketch

I have used an embossing folder for the background.  The image is from The Paper Shelter and the sentiment is typed on the computer.  I raised up the sentiment.   I used some blue cardstock to cut the partial circles and some wide satin ribbon down the centre.  To finish, I added a blue gem in two of the corners to break up the white a bit.

This is the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches:  I changed it from a vertical card to a square card and added two gems but otherwise stuck to the sketch
