Jingle Belles Gets Sketchy!

Wow...I am sooooo late getting to this challenge. Cutting it so close and I definitely didn't want to miss out on the chance to play along with Sketchy Thursdays!

Check out this sketch:




How could I NOT play? And because of the lovely Sketchy Thursday ladies we get a little extra time to Jingle Belle this week so please play if you can. Submissions close tomorrow night at 10 PM EST. So get busy!! (Don't be a slacker, like me!)

Here's what I did this week:



I think I'm making up for last weeks "No red.." with a TON of red!! :D But, even if I do say so myself...I kinda love this card. Love the colors and I love the little felty roses. I would totally go overboard adding more "fussiness" to it, but I had to show restraint.

Hope ya'll can dig it.

Now off ya go...get sketchy with your bad selves.

Those felty flowers are just plain yummy ... and I think you showed amazing restraint with just the right amount of holiday fussines ... the color combination is fabulous too ... thanks again for joining our jingle belles fun.
