Nature Christmas with Merry Monday

It's Monday and that means another challenge from Merry Monday! Lesley has another great CAS sketch this week with wonedrful clean lines. I ended up making 2 different cards for this challenge because the first card was great in my head but when I got it on paper I thought it took a little too much liberty with the sketch, so I did a 2nd card so I could follow the design more closely. I really like how both cards came out though!
The first card I made:
And the 2nd card:

  1. oh both of your cards are so pretty. I think I like the second better - only because it has a snowman! :-) Though I do like the sparkle on that beautiful tree!

  4. Oh Lisa I love what you did with both cards and I think either of them would of been okay for the challenge as each sketch is usually open to interpretation!

  6. Also love both but think the second has the edge for me. Don't know why but just more drawn to it ... Maybe it's those tree trunks feeling dimensional.Catherine x
