2024 Comes to an End! {BYSHC} Sketch 52

 Happy last post of 2024!! {BYSHC} Sketch 52 runs through next Tuesday, so get your cards in to have a chance to win a $25 Gina K. Designs gift card! I love Gina K. Designs!!

I turned the sketch on it's side to make this sweet card! The trees and sentiment are from the Uniquely Unity set called ...simply holiday deer. The background kraft paper and the patterned paper are also from Unity. The patterned papers are from The North Pole Collection. I stamped the skinny tree twice onto watercolor paper, then colored in slightly with a Tombow ABT marker. The sentiment was stamped with versafine clair in nocturne, then fussy cut out with Cutter bee scissors, into individual lines to accommodate the die cut (scallops and circles nesting dies) vellum circle. White enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs to finish it off! 

After all was assembled, I added some star dust stickles to the trees. I thought they needed a little "umph!"

Because of the multiple sketches throughout the year as well as the Linky Parties....I not only had enough cards and didn't need to panic and make more, but I also was able to sell some as well and have some left over! Start your new year off right and come back January 1st for a new year of sketches! Sketch 53 is loading! :)

Until then, hope you and your families have a happy and safe new year! See you in January! :)

{BYSHC} Sketch 52!

Hello friends! Welcome to December! It's either crunch time, or because you've followed along this year, you are feeling no stress because your stash is FULL of cards to mail! :)

If you are still working on getting some cards finished, this sketch is great! 

While the sketch appears to be for a "slimline" card, I don't typically make that shape, so I adjusted it to make an A2 card! Sketches are meant to inspire, not require (stole this line from our fearless leader, Crystal)! The patterned papers happen to all be from Carta Bella Home For Christmas paper pad. Since the measurements on the sketch are for slimline, I had to adjust. I just eyeballed it!  The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co. Kit of the Month (September 2015) called Our Hearts to Yours. The wreath is from the 2020 Advent Calendar, was colored and die cut, then mounted with foam adhesive! I also added some white enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

 

Gina K Designs is the sponsor this month and is providing the prize! Be sure to play along and have a chance to win at the end of the month!
