My sketch was picked my Lisa Moen and her "twist" was that I had to use ink, paint or Copics.   Here's the sketch she gave me:
And, here's the card I created based on the sketch:
I decided to use the Copics option of Lisa's twist and used a red one to create the tiny dots around the outside of my card.  I love the dimension and interest that they added to an otherwise very simple card.  I used Bella Blvd.'s Christmas Wishes Papers, an SRM Sticker and an OLD Making Memories leaf/brad combo that's been in my stash for a LONG time!

I hope you enjoyed my part of the MSW Blog Hop!  I'd love it if you became a follower on my blog so that you can come back and visit often! 

Be sure to head to Sherri's blog next to continue on.  And, don't forget to leave a comment on each blog along the way so that you will be eligible to win the AWDML Gift Certificate!

    You are SO right about the red copic leaving an interesting element to your card. I never thought to do that. Thanks.
