Well here I am again being sidetracked by making another card, which came about because I wanted to use the dies before I put them away.
CAS Colours & Sketches are encouraging us to take either a colour challenge or a sketch challenge from 2025 and turn it into a seasonal card. My card is using Sketch #566 and I followed the orientation and shape of the sketch while changing what needed to be changed to give it a more seasonal look. The plaid paper is from the inside of a store bought envelope, the background oval (cut using Hero Arts infinity dies) is using a scrap piece from my stash. I jazzed it up slightly by adding dots of sparkle gold, but it doesn’t show much on the photo. It looks far better in real life. My little wagon and animals are all Gummiapan dies and my sentiment comes from a set by Crafters Companion. I love the font in this set and have used another of the stamps on the inside of the card. I used both alcohol markers and glitter pens to colour in the animals and wagon.
Although I don’t need any more Christmas cards now, I have several already completed for 2026 and this one will go into that stash. Thanks for joining me today, I appreciate you and any comments you leave.

Cute card. The plaid is a great background. How clever to have a jumpstart on 2026 cards.

Such sweet little diecut animals and what a bonus to use the inside of an envelope for your patterned paper (I love a bit of recycling!) Great to have you playing along with us at CAS Colours and Sketches

Thanks. Sometimes I have to save bits and pieces from store bought items. They come in handy at times.

Thanks. I’m wondering if I will ever get my stuff put away and my space cleaned properly. Everywhere I look there is paper dust.
