Christmas Melodies - Crafty Sentiments

I was thrilled to be asked by Crafty Sentiments Designs to guest design for them for the next six months and today's card is my first posting for them.  I was given this fabulous Christmas Melodies image to work with which is perfect because I now have my second Christmas card done for the year!
This image is available in both digital and rubber stamp format.
In addition to it being new release day, there's also a new challenge happening at Crafty Sentiments and the theme is Anything Goes (easy peasy, right?).  Details and rules can be found on the Challenge Blog and the generous prizes for the winners are:

 3 images if the winner used a Crafty Sentiments Designs image; 1 image only for a winner who has not used a Crafty Sentiments Designs image; 1 image for our crafty sentiments favourite.

For the card, I used the digital version of Christmas Melodies and added the Winter Wonderland sentiment from TLC Creations.  There is a lesson in this card and one I learned the hard way... DO NOT open your Copic marker over your work!  I was finished the colouring and about to open the blue marker to do the shading around the snowman and sploosh!  I'd filled it too full and when I opened it, two huge (and I do mean huge) splotches of blue landed on the image surface.  Ruined, ruined, ruined!  I was so annoyed with myself... whipped myself good for that one because it's happened before so I do know better!

At any rate, I redid it and am happy with the end result.

Thanks for stopping by and have a good week!
