Avery Elle Challenge!

Since we are all getting together for a little "mini" class, I decided to put together a quick and simple card using some new stamps/dies I just received in the last few weeks... and combine it with a little challenge over at the Avery Elle design blog...
I love a good sketch challenge, and this seemed to work well for our cardmaking gathering tomorrow night...



Here's mine:



Materials:
Paper: Green glitter paper, TH mirror paper, misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White
Stamps/Inks: Versamark, Avery Elle - Holiday Fill in the Blank stamp set
Cutting/Embossing: Judikins Opaque white embossing powder, Avery Elle - Holiday Fill in the Blank Elle-ments, Spellbinder's Nestabilities, Sizzix Ornament #2
Misc.: Black marker, twine from The Twinery, Tombow adhesive

And a little knitting (just so you know that although it's been a little quiet, it hasn't been for lack of being busy...)
