{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge #39

 We are in the home stretch! {BYSHC} has filled my card bin to the point of overflowing!

November started with Sketch 39 (it's at the very bottom!)


This sketch was a little bit of a challenge for me, but I did the best that I could figure out! LOL It's more about making the card, than making sure the sketch measurements are exact! ;)

This double sided piece of patterned cardstock was just sitting there and happened to be approximately the right size for an A2 card! I had previously cut a "template" from another piece of patterned paper that I couldn't find a center piece that looked good, so it became the template! LOL But my cuts were crooked and not completely straight, so I cut two strips of red to go over the seams! Worked perfectly! The die and holly are both from Unity Stamp Co.  The holly are from the 2022 Advent Calendar (2023 is about to start!) and the die is called Greetings of the Season.

Love it now that it's finished! LOL


Don't let the exact measurements scare you! It's two cuts or two strips of paper over the top! Easy peasy!
