Here’s one last Christmas wish for you, inspired by the sketch this week over at CAS(E) This Sketch.
I had two goals for this card; one, to follow the sketch, and two, to use this darling sentiment by Clearly Besotted THIS year!! lol, It’s too cute to wait until next year!
I pulled out some paper I’ve had for YEARS, sorry I have no idea who the manufacturer is. I wanted to incorporate several of the patterns so I also pulled out these new to me dies by ‘Lil Inkers. I love the waves, they remind me of snow, with the patterns just peeking out, particularly the words. So fun! I managed to get five patterns one one card…and I don’t think it looks too busy!
Because there was so much going on between the patterns and the very swirly font of the sentiment, I decided to finish it off with one layer of twine and a simple button.
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve! I am all ready to go and looking forward to enjoying this special day!
Wishing you joy and blessings!
