Holiday @ATSM

Hi and welcome to a late night post to announce the start of the new challenge over at ATSM.
This week out theme is -

HOLIDAY

My daughter gets the eebie jeebies when I post a Christmas card so early in the year, so sorry Nich here is another!


I was looking for inspiration when I came across the latest challenge at MUSE, Christmas Visions. Here is Kimberly's original.
I used the idea of a red border, silver glittery reindeer but instead of the scarf, I went with a diamonte on Rudolf's nose! The stamp is an old magazine freebie and the greeting from one of our sponsor's this week, STAMPlorations set Christmas Bell Medley. A very CAS card and quite a quick make!

We have two extra reasons to join us this week. Firstly our sponsor -


Prize: 2 digital images
SLSlines is the work of Sal Scheibe, a freelance illustrator and graphic designer who loves to draw and create fun illustrations. Sal works as the Art Director of ArtTrader Magazine. Prior to freelance illustrating, she worked as a Creative Designer for a music firm working with TV and advertising clients. 
Sal spends her nights drawing geeky things like RPG characters, zombies, fairies, awkward people, pretty girls and odd animals. She offers a broad range of fun digital stamps in many themes from geeky to cute and whimsical to realistic. Her digital stamps start life as sketchy little doodles which are then cleaned up digitally in Photoshop and made presentable and perfect for you.
Sal's favorite tools are Wacom pen and tablet as well as Copic markers, lots of fineliners and many types of erasers (which are used often). Her favorite artists include John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell, JC Leyendecker, Joe Sorren and Phil Hale. And Steve Epting too.
If you'd like a custom digital stamp made or have some suggestions, feel free to write to Sal with themes you'd like to see in the Etsy store.
and secondly our other sponsor
