Hello! It’s the fifth Saturday of the month of July, and that means at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, it’s “Pick a Previous” week! This time we’re asking our participants to choose a 52CCT sketch from 2016 and create a card based on it.
I picked the sketch from February. I gave the vertical strip an extra mat compared to the way the sketch is drawn, just to help highlight more of the colors in the designer paper. I layered glittery felt snowflake stickers for the large embellishment element of the sketch and added a rhinestone in the center for a little extra sparkle. It was a quick and easy card, and it’ll go into the stockpile I’m creating for Send a Smile 4 Kids.
I’m also planning to submit this into the “something tactile” challenge at Less is More.
The rest of the design team and I are looking forward to seeing which of our sketches from 2016 you’ll select for your own card. Be sure to link it to the challenge post by 7:00 p.m. Eastern time Friday, August 5. We’d love to have you join in the fun and creativity! Thanks for stopping by today.
Supplies:
Stamps: Critters in the Snow (Lawn Fawn)
Cardstock: Mint Macaron, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo (Stampin’ Up); designer paper from Holly Jolly Christmas 6″ x 6″ paper pad (Echo Park)
Ink: Early Espresso (SU)
Other: felt glitter stickers (Creatology); rhinestone (SU)
