It was a sketch challenge, this is the sketch that we were given.
If you've never seen a sketch challenge before, the idea is that you use this base to create your own card - you can mix it up a little, but the base of the card should be recognisable as the above card.
Here's what I created:
Clearly I was in a Christmassy mood!
Have I mentioned before that I just l-o-v-e- Christmas? I love the buildup, I love carols, I love decorations, I love gift buying, I love gift wrapping. Of course, I love making Christmas cards as well!
The base of this card is in Cherry Cobbler, and the Designer Series Paper is Be Merry. I used the sentiment from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set, and I used the Cherry Cobbler Double Stitched Ribbon, as well as a length of Burlap Ribbon. I used the SNAIL adhesive, as well as dimensionals (on the sentiment) and a glue dot under the bow. I also used my favourite shape die - the Stitched Framelits. They are so versatile!
A quick note - the Snowflake Sentiments come with some sentiments that are perfect for inside the card as well, so I added some white paper and stamped a sentiment inside, finishing the card off nicely.
