Hi all! It's time for a brand new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches! Our hostess this week is Narelle and she's given us her signature clean design which can be dressed up to your heart's content! For my card I went clean and simple.
It's July so that means CHRISTMAS right? Sure it does! I don't know how the Christmas in July thing started but I like to take advantage of it to add to my holiday card stash. And of course a couple of other challenges helped me along. Addicted to CAS and Less is More are both looking for Christmas themes and since all that white space fits their criteria I decided to play along with them too.
This card was super simple to put together because as I was perusing my stash for something to use as the long vertical layer I happened upon these trees that were already stamped and cut. They were long and slim and fit the design perfectly so it was just a matter of adding a sentiment and I was done. I think I spent more time cutting out small pieces of foam tape to mount them to my card front than I did creating the design!
Thanks for stopping by! My fellow teammates at Freshly Made Sketches have some amazing cards to wow you with so be sure to check them out!
