Christmas Wishes

Hello Blogging Friends!

I am trying to complete a blog hop for Perfect Sentiments that has 4 different cards.  So here is my card 3 for Christmas with a Critter.  I used a Christmas Challenges sketch which I will also be entering into the challenge.  I love the way this little High Hopes, Hope for Peace Snowy turned out.  It started out that I would make him monotone, but then I quickly changed my mind and added in some blues and just a touch of red.

The papers are by MME Christmas packs.  The sentiment is by Memory Box, Christmas Ticket.  I distressed the edges of all the papers and gave them a bit of distress ink.  The burlap in the background is from a silverware holder from a wedding I went to last week, recycle and reuse.  Everyone made fun of me when I asked if they were throwing their silverware holder



Inside paper by MME and sentiment by Stampabilities, Meaning of the Season.



Copics used:  E44, E47, E49, R81, R85, R89, BG13, BG15, BG34, BG10, BG0000, 0, YG93, YG95, YG97


I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a fantastic Monday!
Blessings until next time...

  10. This is soooo sweet!!! I had never heard of High Hopes, but they have the most adorable images. I love the reused burlap. My Mom collected confetti at a party once to put inside her cards. They were going to throw it away!
