BYSHC March Sketch Challenge #43

 It's been a while since I posted a card for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers group on my blog.  I have been working through a housing transition and moving through a creative funk.  I am happy to say things are feeling more settled and the creative dry spell has lifted.  My collection of layering stencils and last month's Pinkfresh Studios Create & Connect event were instrumental in getting me back into the craft room!

This card came during my dry spell - and I found most of the elements for it in my stash. Crystal's great sketch and all of the layers helped me.  I think I have had the card base ready to go for more than three years!  The embossed white square was die cut for this card from  a time I was "playing" with a new technique.  I saved the paper, knowing it would be good for "something".  Santa was stamped and waiting to be colored (and then fussy cut).  The only element I created for this card was the tree.  It's from Taylored Expressions Through the Woods stamp set. 

I hope you are feeling creative and can play along with the BYSHC Sketch Challenge this month. It's a greta way to work on holiday cards, plus there are always prizes!!  Just add you card to the Sketch Challenge 43 album in our FB group.  

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  In kindness, Cathy
