FRESHLY MADE NOEL - FMS207

It is not often I get to play along with another challenge site, but this particular challenge kept jumping out at me all week.  I gave in and created my card today for Freshly Made Sketches #207.

I love the serene scene I managed to create with this alternative Christmas card.  I sponged the following colours onto Shimmery White card stock for the sky; Watermelon Wonder, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point.  The black scene is a stamp from the set To You & Yours Too, just the perfect image!
I love the sketch that Kim Singdahlsen created for this challenge.  As I already said, it kept jumping out at me all week!  What's a girl to do but create?!

I kept the sentiment simple, with just a single heat embossed word.  I wanted the scene to speak for itself.  I hope you like this card as much as I do!  I would love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to leave me a comment.  I read and appreciate each and every one.
