{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 50 ~ Falling for the Holidays 2024 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Simple Christmas Trees ~ A Colorful Life Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with more inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 50 over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring two fabulous stencils from our amazing sponsor A Colorful Life Designs! A Colorful Life Designs has generously offered up a $25 gift card as a prize for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 50 this month! So fabulous!!

I started with my background for this card. I scored a 4-1/4 x 11" piece of Kraft card stock from Papertrey Ink at 5-1/2" for an A2 card base. I secured my card to my glass table with purple tape and then I laid the Arctic Snow Stencil from our amazing Sponsor A Colorful Life Designs over the top and lightly blended using my brown distress ink blending brush. I didn't even bother with adding any more ink. The snowflakes fade out towards the mug. I love the effect!

I replaced the stencil with the Simple Christmas Trees Stencil, also from A Colorful Life Designs, and blended Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink over top. I love this fun tree design! I removed the stencil and then distressed the edges of the card using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I love the vintage vibe it gives the card! 

I stamped the sentiment from A Wintry Hello from our lovely Sponsor Unity Stamp Co. using the Lumberjack Plaid Distress Ink. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the card using iCraft UltraBond Adhesive from our fab Sponsor Therm O Web. The fun ephemera piece is from our wonderful Sponsor Not 2 Shabby and it's called A Shabby Christmas. I distressed the edges with my brown blending brush just to tame the brightness of the white. I finished off the card with a few red confetti pieces from the Crystal Iris Cranberry Card Bling from A Colorful Life Designs.
