Holiday @ATSM

Good evening and welcome to a post to announce the latest challenge over at ATSM.
This week the theme is - 

HOLIDAY

So, any project that celebrates a holiday, Christmas or as Easter is just around the corner why not an Easter card, the choice is yours.
For my card I went with Christmas as I have plenty of Easter cards and my stash of Christmas ones could do with an addition.


My inspiration for this came from a couple of challenges. I used the sketch at Sketch Saturday and the photo at Christmas Card Challenges.


I used Wilted Violet and Chipped Sapphire to create the inky background and I used some linen textured card to die cut the panels as well as the base card.
After inking the purple panel I spritzed it with my own mix of Platinum Inca Gold and water to give the sky some shimmer, then added some white stars with a gel pen. I cut a circle in the top white panel with a MFT stitched circle die then cut a frame for it with two of the same. From scraps of textured card I cut a tree scene using a Marianne die and assembled the bits to create the scene. A length of silver chord was wrapped around the central panel and tied with a bow to finish. The assembled panel was popped up over the purple one and then that was glued flat on to the base card.

OK, that's a wrap from me. Please check out the rest of the team for more inspiration and then why not join us?
This week we are sponsored by

with the winner getting their choice of 3 digis.
