TTS47, A Retro Christmas

Hey everyone!!

This week over at Tis The Season Stamping we have a gorgeous picture to draw some inspiration from.

Personally, I'm terrible with inspiration challenges because it leaves too much to my imagination and not enough guidelines, haha. But, this week I think I did alright. (Even if I don't think my execution was all that great)

Here is the inspiration:

So I thought. Have you ever started with an idea, then once executed totally sucked. That was my afternoon. What should've been 20 minutes of crafting bliss ended with me going saying a few choice curse words and busting out my washi tape!


Here's the sketch:
