CCMC 229

Hello everyone! It's time for another Thursday challenge from the Create with Connie and Mary team! This week we have a sketch challenge! Take a look!


Such a fun sketch and I had a great time creating my card! I tried my very best to get away from the traditional Christmas colors and here is what I came up with!


I was still able to use the Festival of Prints and picked a fun print! So I started by adhering a piece of the Festival of Prints paper to a piece of Island Indigo and then tied a piece of Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon around this. This panel is then popped up onto a card base of Crumb Cake. I punched a 1 3/4" circle from Crumb Cake and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder. This is adhered to a 2 3/8" scallop circle of Cherry Cobbler. Then I used the Essential Paper Piercing pack and punched an outline around the Crumb Cake circle. This is popped up onto the card. Then I stamped the image from Scentsational Season in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla and used the Holiday framelits dies to cut it out. This is popped up onto the circle. I stamped the greeting from More Merry Messages in Early Espresso onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged the end. I tucked the other end behind the image. Then I added a heart that was punched from Cherry Cobbler with the Owl builder punch and a little rhinestone.

Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see what the other designers did with this fabulous sketch! I hope you get inspired and find some time to play along with us! We always love to see what you come up with! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
