Sugar Pea Designs Sketch Challenge #34

Hi friends!  I hope you're having a great day and getting lots done! Seems like it's all coming together all at once doesn't it?  We finished decorating the tree and the outside of the house this weekend, and now for Christmas cards.    I love making them all year, now it's time to mail them!  Have you checked out the Sugar Pea Designs Sketch Challenge lately?  There's been lots of changes!  The prize is monthly - meaning you get the whole month to play along... .but here's the twist... there is a new sketch challenge every week!  You can play along with one of the sketches or ALL of the sketches.  The more you play the better your chance to win.   The prize?  A $75 gift card to the Sugar Pea Designs store!  Sweet right? 

This skeched seemed perfect to showcase the Funky Wreath All Seasons stamp set.  I triple stamped the wreath in three shades of green and then added some berries here and there.  For a little more dimension I added a few red pearls in with the stamped berries. 

I was looking for a Christmas sentiment so I chose this one from the Merry Makers stamp set.  
 Some twine and a fancy die cut border make this extra special!

I used a corner rounder to smooth out those pointed edges.  They seem to go better with the round wreath design. 

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what you made!  Need a little inspiration?  Check out what the design team has for you!

I mixed two different stamp sets for my card.  That cute little elf is from the Merry Makers set and the bow and berries are from the Funky Wreaths All Seasons.

The Polaroid Journaling Card Die Set makes the perfect frame for this little guy.  

The Polaroid Journal Frame Die is popped up with adhesive tape.  I slipped a little metal button underneath to show you the added dimension.
