The Challenge #19 {Christmas Greetings}

Welcome to The Challenge! Every other week we bring you a colour/sketch combo! You are welcome to combine the colours and sketch or just use one part of the challenge! It is totally up to you! The winner of The Challenge gets to be a Guest! Come and play along!


Sketch Dimensions
(this is only a suggestion)
Card Base: 4.25 x 5.5"
Front Layer: 4 x 5.25"
Strip: 3.5" use a square punch to make the ends
Butterfly: Any Shape


For my card I used a pretty sentiment from VERVE as I am also playing along with their current Colour Challenge and I am playing along with the current Time Out Challenge "Home". I used my sketch only for my card this week! The poinsettia is from Spellbinders and the embossed panel is a Couture Creations embossing folder. I kept my card simple.


{Supplies Used}
Stamps: Verve {Bright Spirits}
Inks: Black
Papers: Red, Kraft, Green, White
Extras: Spellbinder Poinsettia Die, Couture Creations Embossing Folder, pearl


The design team have created inspiring samples to get you into the crafting mood! Some of them used the sketch, some of them used the colours and some of them combined both!
Come and join us! This challenge we are thrilled to have Karen Day joining us as a Guest Designer! Karen won the last challenge! Welcome, Karen!
