No, I'm not writing a letter to Father Christmas...I'm back again today with a card for Retro Sketches. This sketch happens to be one of Laurie's that was used over at Muse recently, but I missed it when it was there so I'm glad for the second chance!
When I saw this sketch I immediately thought it looked like an envelope...do you see where I'm coming from?! So, that's where my idea started...an envelope addressed to Father Christmas ;) Inside the card is the rest of the sentiment "...I can explain...!" This card would be apt for pretty much everyone I know!!
Here is the sketch...
I wasn't sure whether I liked this card when I finished it, but I think it could be a grower. I saw it on my desk when I got back in from a short trip into town this morning (I made this card very early this morning!!) I liked it a little more than before?! What do you guys think?
Thank you, as always, for stopping by ;)

ReplyDeleteAck, I knew I forgot another challenge, was going to do this last night, but a tv show got in the way :)
Sian, I think your card is fabulous! I've only seen it for a few minutes and it's certainly "grown on me"! Love your 'writing to Father Christmas' idea, and paired with the inside sentiment you shared - clever, plus! Great inspiration!
