Viva La Verve {November Sketch}-Let it Snow

Friday is here! Hooray! Today the new Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge starts and Julee has a wonderful new sketch, full of great layers! I LOVED it and just had to play along! I decided to ink up a fun Christmas set Julee released last year called Jolly Jingles! I love the snowman and decided to turn him into a snow "woman"; complete with pink top hat! 

My white panel with the snowgal looked a little bare, so I inked up the snowflakes in the set and stamped them in Coastal Cabana. The papers were actually chosen first and I was going to colour a Verve floral image for my card but when I saw the Christmas set. I knew it was time to get ahead on my Christmas cards!

Then I finished it off with a snowflake and some pink glitter twine. Easy peasy!

Be sure to join us this month at Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge! The link list will be up for the whole month and we'll choose a winner on November 2 to win a $40 gift voucher to Verve.

I was inspired by the leaves and made the card using all three of the leaf sizes! I always love the look of leaves!! And Julee has created some awesome dies to use with them!!! I used Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke and Pumpkin Pie as my colours. Combined those with some red gingham paper for the background. I hope it has a festive feel!
