Christmas in August!

Heyall :) Hope you are doing well.

Here is my first take on CraftyJC Challenge – Sketch time. CJC-1-Sketch

I love Christmas and love making Christmas cards throughout the year!DSC00028 - Copy

So here it is – a Christmas card made in the midst of rains in Pune.

DSC00026 - Copy

What went it:

  • Grey card stock from Venus Traders, F.C Road, Pune
  • Patterned paper used for matting the die cuts – my freebie from here. I played around with a MS punch :)
  • Die cuts – Cuttlebug
  • Random ribbon. I figured tying the the ribbon upside down gives me a nicer bow
  • Sentiment Stamp from Stampabilities – gift from my friens Reeja

Thanks for stopping by and please do play along with CraftyJC Challenge’s first ever – Sketch time :)

Cheers,

Jaya

Here is the sketch grabbed from the ICR Challenge Pad I wanted to CASify this sketch – inspired by non other than Simplicity . And this is what I came up with.
