NEW DT and the February BYSHC - Sketch #19

 

I was recently asked to be on the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Design Team and am thrilled to be part of  this group of super talented folks.  A bonus for me is chipping away on my holiday cards throughout the year instead of waiting until December.

BYSHC has a private FB group for posting your makes, a presence on IG, and a blog where you can look for information, too.  The other fun thing is there are four hops with sponsors and prizes each year.  More incentive to get going with building your stash of holiday cards!


Sketch challenges are a favorite of mine, and Crystal has created a great one for February. It's got some fun diagonal lines and the center "any shape" allows for versatility when going through one's stash! My first card this month doesn't have any coloring. It uses some patterned paper and Chilly the Gnome die from Picket Fence Studios, and Charming Tags 1 die from Papertrey Ink.  The sentiment is part of the Snarky Cat Christmas collection of Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stamps.  It's hard to tell from the photo, but the gnome's beards are glitter paper.  Hope you will join me in building up your stash of holiday cards this year!  Thanks for stopping by my blog.   

Challenges Entered:   Color Hues #34 red and black; NBUS #35 - (Chilly the Gnome die and the sentiment!);                                                                                                    
In kindness, Cathy
