Reindeer Fun Sketch Challenge

Welcome to the Crafty Challenge blog hop. Each month we are presented with a challenge and tasked with creating a project. This month we have a sketch challenge. Here is the card I created.

I chose to use the Reindeer Days paper with the Reindeer Fun stamp set. The deer and the tree were fussy cut from the patterned paper. The Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder makes a perfect background for the focal image.

Here’s the sketch. You can see that I stayed pretty close to the sketch.

The only change I made was to omit the bow between the focal image and the sentiment. I invite you to use this sketch as a jumping off point for your card making. Remember, you can choose to follow it closely or let it take you in a different direction.
