Whoville

The sketch this week for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge:

For my card I incorporated a few challenges. First the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge was to incorporate at least 3 geometric shapes - the sketch was perfect! The Our Creative Corner Challenge was to create a card based on a Holiday movie or book. I went with the Grinch, to me these fun colors and patterns remind me of the Grinch and Whoville. This tree from my Cricut Christmas Cheer was perfect for a Whoville tree! I stamped it with Spot On Background (CTMH), painted it with Shimmerz and then mounted with foam squares. For the background I cut strips of Holiday Red cardstock and sewed it on. Finally, it incorporates the SPCC: Finally Friday challenge - to emboss and layer. I embossed the white dots and I also dry embossed the music background on the white paper (like the Whos are singing around the tree in Whoville!). Love it when it all works together like that - all in an hour, no thinking, just went together! All supplies are from CTMH except the cricut, punch and the dot stamp (PTI). Oh and one more thing, I scented the card with Candy Cane Card Scent - yummy!
