My Christmas card inventory is very very low...LOL. My plan to do at least one Christmas card per month just isn't happening. So I thought I'd try to catch up a bit here.
I'm also in the mood for practicing more with my coloured pencils, so that's what I've used with this Christmas card.
A new Christmas Challenge Blog, Christmas Challenges (with sketches), provided me with a wonderful sketch by Janneke. This card is for their very first Challenge.

Gorgeous card Norma.
You certainly have the knack of those pencils. They are so relaxing aren't they? I love the design with those lovely papers.
Did you use odorless white spirits or did you use a blender pencil? Whatever you used it looks awesome.
