Hope those of you celebrating Christmas today enjoy plenty of love and comfort with family and friends.  Our neighbors are hosting a get together this morning and then we’ll hit some of the fantastic movies being released in the theaters (a Fish family tradition)!

Today’s card was inspired by this week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA233).  I rotated it 90 degrees and used a little creative license to imitate the sketch triangles with the roses in the die cut and bow.  Try the PPA sketch yourself this week!

My neutral color palette and design were also inspired by this darling sweater from Garnet Hill.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • Sneak Peek!  Does the rose die cut have your jaw dropping as well?  It’s part of the Artisan Embellishment Kit in the Occasions Catalog (available Jan. 6).  Divine for Valentine’s Day and more!
