Welcome to June and Sketch 46!

 Wow! We are already in June! How did that happen!?!? Well here in Florida its difficult to think about winter and Christmas when the temp is 100 outside!! But at BYSHC it's always Christmas!

This month's sponsor is Lawn Fawn! I have been trying to use the sponsored product on the sponsored month! This cute Santa scene is all from the kit called Ho-Ho-Holidays and the matching die set. I stamped and cut out all the pieces, then colored. I used some alcohol markers and a white gel pen. The paper is from a recently acquired pad ffrom PhotoPlay called It's a Wonderful Christmas. The blue looked like the night sky to me! Santa is backed with a circle of vellum. The sentiment was stamped with versamark embossing ink and then embossed with gina k designs white embossing powder. The circle and banner were cut using dies from Unity Stamp Co.

Have your entries posted on the BYSHC Facebook page before the end of the month for your chance to win a Lawn Fawn $25 Gift Certificate!!!

{BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2023 Linky Party

 Welcome back! The {BYSHC} Falling for the Holidays 2023 Linky Party continues!

Another background that just wasn't the right color green and more reindeer! But I've added another element on top of the floral background.....a grid background stamp!

Started with a white card base then a plain white piece of cardstock was stamped with the Unity Stamp Co. background stamp called Tuscan Tile using Distress ink in Shabby shutters. I then stamped onto it a background called off the grid using distress oxides in antique linen and vintage photo. I die cut that panel along with a piece of brown cardstock using the Sizzix/Tim Holtz dies called Stacked Deckle. The green panel behind was distressed along the edge and then inked to show the distressing. The reindeer were stamped onto white with black and I thought it was a little too stark so I ink blended over them with vintage photo to darken them up a bit. I added some red twine and brads to finish it off. 

If we have learned anything.....if it doesn't work right now, save it because it will work for something else! :)

The party link will end on the 27th at midnight!

The link will close on the 27th at Midnight so be sure to get your entries in before then to be eligible for one of the amazing prizes!! 

My card came about in two ways....first I was trying to find the right green for a card a friend ordered and unfortunately this was NOT the right green! LOL But since we never throw anything away I turned it into a background. While looking for the right stamp I found ...cheerful prancing which was the perfect "rustic" simple design that could go with a green floral background! It was then that I realized that Unity Stamp Co. also has the digital cut file for this amazing set! So I was off and running! 

Started with a white card base, next took a piece of plain white cardstock and stamped the amazing background called Tuscan Tile in fresh asparagus ink from Gina K. I used the scallops and rectangle nesting dies to die cut the large panel and then the rectangle in the center. The reindeer and sentiment as I said are from .....cheerful prancing which I stamped with distress oxide in vintage photo and then embossed with WOW! Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Glitter AFTER I had already die cut them using the digital cut file! The rectangle is popped up with foam tape and its finished! :)

OOOO.....see the shimmer?!?!?

The entire list of sponsors is listed on my first post here.

Have a fun week! I know I will! :)
