paper smooches sparks challenge


So the fabulous Kim Hughes of Paper Smooches stamps is having a monthly challenge. For the month of July, we are to create a card/cards using either the "designer drafts" (sketches provided by Paper Smooches every month) or the "cool shades" (colour combos), and Paper Smooches stamps. 
I chose to use one of the designer drafts sketches.


Here's my take on the sketch, using the fabulous squirrel from the
 "hang ups" set.


I think my favourite part was using the white puffy applique stuff! It makes fabulous snow don't you think? And I know it's hard to tell but I made the pole a little bit longer by wiping off the ink at the bottom for the top half, then inked up a portion of the bottom half and matched it up. Then coloured it and added glossy accents to make it pop.

Thanks for stopping by. And don't forget to enter my celebratory thank you giveaway here. You could win one of the 2 Papertrey Ink anniversary sets I am giving away.

Have a fabulous wednesday!
