I've designed a "Simple Sketch" (PPA124) for you to try for this week's challenge at Pals Paper Arts! A sketch makes a great starting point and nothing is "set in stone"! Flip it, turn it, or use it just as it is drawn! Dress it up or down! The choice is yours!
I used dies, a punch, and adhesive rhinestones to create my red and white flurry of flakes that are featured! The seasonal sentiment was stamped and punched out, then embellished with a few blingy berries and leaves! The embossed snowflake background in Lucky Limeade is the perfect contrast to the band of red and white striped ribbon! Cheerful, bright, and fun!
