Freshly Made Sketches #47

Good morning!  This is my first time doing a challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches and it was a lot of fun!  I love being able to have a sketch to get my creative juices flowing. It saves a lot of time if you just want to sit down and make a card without too much thought!  I really loved the sketch this week. 

Those strips of DSP at the bottom were just SCREAMING to become banners, but it seems like I have been putting banners on everything lately, so I decided to try something different.  I have a lot of scallop dots ribbon laying around from a great deal I got on a bundle last year after Thanksgiving, so I started with that.  I put a glue dot on the end and rolled the ends a little so you could see the polka dots a bit.  I don't usually do Christmas cards this early in the year, but the colors of my ribbon worked well for Christmas so I decided to break out my new stamp set and framelits also!  The new ink stays wet just long enough to add a little bit of embossing powder, so my mug smells like peppermint which is a nice surprise for the recipient of the card!
