I hope you are enjoying your weekend and if living in the USA I hope you also enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday!
I am here today with a card for the Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge #125
Here is the lovely sketch:
When I saw this sketch I wrote it down in my sketch notebook and then flipped it 180 degrees.
It then looked to me like two trees standing up in the forest...and my brain went...ahhh Christmas Trees. I asked myself - just how much liberty are we allowed to take with a sketch before it is too much? This may be too much!!!! But as inspiration is such a wonderful thing and as as I am TOTALLY in Christmas Card and Tag making mode right now I quickly pulled out my Waltzing Mouse "Vintage Banners" stamp set and came up with this card:
The sentiment is from Seasons of Love tags and says "Hearts ALL come home for Christmas". I love this sentiment - one of my all time favorites!
Anyway I am not sure if my card will count but there it is nevertheless!
And I still have all week to play with this sketch so you never know...maybe another card idea will pop into my head this week.
Thanks for taking a look!
