Winner and TMS with DRS!

Good morning everyone!  Welcome back for another Tuesday Morning Sketch!

Before I get into this week's sketch and card, I would like to thank everyone who stopped by and wished me a happy birthday!  I had a wonderful day spend with my family.

And now for the winner of my special birthday giveaway....
Random.org picked #13 - KY Fit Kitty!
Congratulations!  Thank you to everyone who left a comment, it make my day!

Now back to business!  We have a great sketch this week, and an even greater sponsor!
This week our prize is from DRS Designs!  We have a $10.00 DRS gift certificate for one lucky participant!

Now for this week's sketch!


And my take....'
























I used DRS's Vertical Triple Tree on the main image panel.  Minimal coloring made this card quick,
I need quick right now since I still have not mailed my Christmas cards!  My goal is to have them ready to be mailed this Thursday.
Just a hint of color and snowflakes along the swirl to help give the effect of blowing snow.
I tried to create a feeling of a close up of the tree branch on the top image panel.  I used a branch die and small bird dies to create this little scene.  I stamped some small snowflakes onto the sentiment panel before stamping the sentiment.

Now for more inspiration, see what the other designers have created this week!
