This is for the weekly sketch challenge on the member company forum at SCS...see I told ya I'd squeeze in time for one more! For this card I used some patterned paper that I will talk more about in a couple of weeks, the Baby It's Cold Outside set that will be released on Dec 5th and Setting the Stage for the scalloped element. I distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress ink and used Brillance Graphite Black and Starlite Black inks as well. I used watercolor pencils and the aquapainter to color in the image. I used a Petaloo flower and snowflake (from Target) to finish it off! There is also some design team news for our December releases...check it out here! Woohoo girls and welcome!

Speaking of December releases....we hope you'll join us for a *cocktail* party on December 5th from 9-11pm EST for some fabulous new sets, prizes and COOL SURPRISES!!!!! Mark your calendars now!

I've been asked a couple of questions about the tags, there is a magnet inside which keeps it closed. The magnet isn't visable, and there is room to add the gift card on the left so it isn't *on* the magnet, does that make sense? SInce they are already covered in paper, you can do as much or as little as you have time for! You can stamp on them, embellish them or simpky tie a ribbon through the opening at the top, whatever works for you!
