I've been really enjoying making xmas cards lately and also one's for boys. I always used to struggle with these but I love doing them now, think it maybe a case of, the more you do the easier it gets.
Here's one I made this afternoon.
I followed Pop's fab sketch over at LOTV and ooh! it's a lovely one. :o)
I'm also entering it into: Samuel Taylors ( Christmas Stamp)
Marianne's Design Divas (anything goes)
I used: free HOTP papers from a mag
LOTV Ski Jump
Marianne D corner and snowflakes
Spectrum Noirs & Derwent pencils
Daisy & Dandelion sentiment
Pearls & Glamour dust
Hope you all have a lovely evening. Catch ya' later. :o)

love those bp's and snowflakes, gorgeous image, beautifully coloured x
Donna this is so lovely. Im afraid the saying "the more you do, the easier it gets" does not apply to me and card making!! As much as I'd love to sit down and produce a card as beautiful as yours, its just not gonna happen. I think I'll stick to making flowers and books! Really love the papers you used and as always your layout is terrific. Lee xx
Oh Wow Donna! What a gorgeous Christmas card, I love everything and that layout is just perfect, I can see why you love that sketch. You have coloured his red and green ensemble so prefectly, he looks amazing - and your colours are a perfect match with the DP. A stunner! Have a great evening, Hugs, Teresa x
What a fabulous card Donna, you've coloured it beautifully and I love the embellishments, especially the snowflakes. I really like the dp's you've used too.
Hope work is going well.
