Tuesday Morning Sketches #176 - Close to my Heart!

Good morning, and happy Tuesday! This week is JUDGED CHALLENGE week at Tuesday Morning Sketches, and you know what that means - follow the sketch & don't forget the TWIST for a chance to win a spot in the hand-picked Top Five :) The fabulously fun twist this time around is:

Non-Traditional Christmas

How do you interpret that? Theme? Colours? It's up to you! 

Debbie, a demo with Close to my Heart, is our generous sponsor this week! Here's the fun sketch we're working with, designed by Cheryl:

Unfortunately my stamps are still on their way - they are walking here, and it was snowy yesterday ;) You'll be seeing another card from me for this challenge as soon as they do get here. I didn't want to wait until then, though, so I've made something else to share in the meantime:

Supplies: stamps from Woodware, from Jen!; Memento Gray Flannel & Palette Noir inks; papers from Cosmo Cricket; standard oval Nesties; felt snowflake, sparkly brad, pearls, and purple glitter all from stash; coloured with Prismacolor pencils; Liquid Pearls & clear glitter glue for the snowy ice.

It is hard to capture the sheen of the Liquid Pearls - and swear to peanuts, the coverage is a lot more even than it looks in the photograph! 

So how do I consider my Christmas card unconventional? Purple, and fishing. I have truly never seen a Christmas card featuring fishing. 

This sketch will be open until next Sunday, December 16. Make sure to hop over to the design blog and see the amazing creations by all my teamies:
