Pretty in Real Red!

Lesley, over at Always Playing with Paper, has a sketch challenge this week. I joined in on many of her challenges last year, and it was so nice to have Christmas cards made up a head of time! I only had to make a handful of cards in December. So, I am going to try and play along with her challenges again this year!!!


So here is my first Christmas card of 2013. I like this sketch and I could easily made a few of these at a time.  I opted to make a label with the Top Note die instead of the circle. My circle cutter is not the easiest thing to use, and it's hiding in a box somewhere anyways in the basement!

I used the Candlelight Christmas paper, Real Red CS, and Very Vanilla CS, with Early Espresso for the ink.

Real Red is very difficult to photograph!!

Thanks!

Tracey
