Certainly Celery & Old Olive Christmas Card

My card for this week’s Stampin’ Queens Sketch Challenge (SQSC15) is the fourth card in my 25 Holiday Cards Challenge. Here’s the original sketch:

The scalloped circle focal point reminded me of fabric in an embroidery hoop, so I decided to try to go with an old-fashioned, vintage look. Here’s my version of the card, using various papers in either Certainly Celery or Old Olive:

  1. I love ALL your MDS cards! I, too, thought of fabric in an embroidery hoop when I first saw this sketch. Thanks for leaving a nice comment on my blog.

  2. Glad you saw an embroidery hoop too. I actually considered trying to do a pattern with x marks like counted thread cross stitch, but time and sanity won out. I might go back to that idea in the future though.
