Hello!  We have a fifth Saturday in the month of August, which means it’s time for a Pick a Previous challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown!  Gill, our challenge hostess, is asking us to choose a previous 52{C}CT sketch for our inspiration this time.  Go to the 52{C}CT site, click on the “Sketches Archive” tab, and select one of the 30+ sketches to use in creating your Christmas or wintry card.

I’ve chosen the June 2014 sketch for my card this week.  It’s been a while since I’ve used this penguin image so I thought I’d get him inky again.  For the horizontal and vertical crossing elements, I’ve layered two different ribbons – a very sheer white one, and a satin one to match the darker blue-green cardstock.  The penguin panel is adhered with dimensional adhesive to accommodate the thickness of the ribbons.

Which sketch will you choose?  Link your creation at the 52{C}CT site by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time/6:00 p.m. GMT Friday, September 5.  We’d really appreciate it if you join us!  Thanks for stopping by here today.
