{BYSHC} Cardmakers - April Sketch Challenge #32

 A new month means a new sketch and challenge on the {BYSHC} Cardmakers Challenge Blog.  

For this card, I decided to flip the sketch vertically and created the focal image from my paper scraps, a die, and a bold sentiment from MFT.  
The ornament is part of a set from Kat Scrappiness, called Christmas Ornament Shaker Dies. I used the back of the round ornament and die cut it from a scrap of foiled paper.  I added MFT's Hand Lettered Christmas (retired) using gold embossing powder.  The die set has ornament tops, which I die cut from gold paper and then added a bow from my stash of ribbons. The last step was to add the three gold dots for embellishment. 

Hope you can play along with our sketch this month.  Just post your card in the {BYSHC} FB Group Album.  Keep your eye on the blog because one of the {BYSHC} week-long Linky Parties is coming up in April.  It's a chance to build your Christmas stash of cards and win prizes!  Thanks for stopping by my blog.
In kindness, Cathy
