Working my way through the sketches...

While I am at camp, I thought this would be a great time to schedule some of my other Christmas cards.  After all, if I'm sweating away in the heat, my blog should at least have something wintry and cool!  I have been diligently working my way through the sketches at Merry Monday.  This is sketch #12.  Very clean and simple and would be a great design to use if you had to make several of these.



I have the tendency to rethink my cards after they are finished.  While I like the simple design of this, I think when I use this sketch again, I will emboss the base or use a background stamp to dress it up a little.

I even used some retired DSP on this one (I really do need an intervention...) and now I don't feel the least bit guilty about the new purchases that are sitting on my table just waiting for me to use them!!  

I hope your weekend is wonderful and wish you happy crafting!

    I think it is fine, but we know how I am all about the CAS and took time to get comfy with open space, not just wheat fields I mean :) Have fun at camp, hope it isn't too hot, it is 108 today here.

    I like your idea about embossing the bottom of the card for this sketch! I think it would take it from great to WOW!
