I really enjoyed playing with this challenge over at
Polka Doodles (Twas the Night Before Christmas). It opened the challenge for any number of directions! I chose "While visions of sugar plums danced in their heads..." Of course, we, today, do not eat plums dipped in sugar, but CANDY is always a big part of Christmas. At least around our house!
For the sketch, both
Simon Says and
Pixie Cottage had sketches so similiar, I decided to go with BOTH! Kinda tilted and mixed the elements of each.
Great minds think alike, right?
Now, here is my card:
These "sugar plums" from
MYGRAFICO were painstakingly fussy cut and glued together. One of my first "paper piecing" projects in years! I am happy with the results, but will choose a much larger image next time! LOL! The fantastic prize of a beautiful stamp set from BlackLeaf Stamps was enough to convince me check out the Grafico images. How adorable!
I used papers form my long-time stash of Daisyd's and Provocraft. The little gingerbread guy is a button from "Dress It Up" (JoAnn's)
