Dizzy Snowman Christmas Card

Finally found some time this afternoon to tackle the pile of christmas cards I need to make.  Have made a pile (about 30) all in one style but I need a change now.  There are sooo many fab challenge blogs out there that I have only just discovered that are great for inspiration - so today's card uses one these.  This sketch (from The Sweetest Thing) really caught my eye and I knew I had an old stamp that I thought would suit it.
and here is my design -

Dovecraft paper, edged with black glitter.  Anita's Stamp coloured with copics, and a Sentiment stamp that was a freebie from a magazine.  I used a fiskars embossing board for the swirly top panel.

Christmas Card - sketch challenge

Having been working on my christmas cards, mostly same design for the bulk of them, so I decided to take a break and do something different.  I used the sketch on the Sketch Saturday blog. Here is my design - 
Used Dovecraft Papers, Pine Tree Nestabilities - medium size!, foliage stamp (no idea where this came from - had it ages), Whispers archival dye ink - green green. Sakura pen, glitter and mirri card from stash.
