🎄 Jolly Layers with Sketch 62 – A BYSHC Holiday Card

🎄 Jolly Layers with Sketch 62 – A BYSHC Holiday Card

It’s beginning to look a lot like crafting season! Today’s card was inspired by the latest BYSHC (Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers) sketch challenge, and I had a blast working with Sketch 62 from Crystal. This layout offered the perfect playground for mixing patterns, stamping, and coloring.

🖌️ Supplies I Used:

• Recollections Paper Pad: I pulled a few festive prints from this pad to create layered panels full of texture and charm. These papers are always a go-to for holiday crafting!

• Sketch 62 from Crystal: I followed the sketch closely but added a playful twist to suit my layout. Sketches like this are such a great way to jumpstart creativity.

• Stamped Images from Taylored Expressions: These adorable holiday stamps brought so much personality to the card. I colored them with Olo Markers, which gave me rich, vibrant tones and smooth blending.

✨ Design Details

I flipped the sketch orientation and the proportions to highlight my stamped images. The Recollections papers added a cozy backdrop, while the Olo-colored characters became the stars of the show. A few enamel dots and a touch of glitter finished things off with sparkle and dimension.

💌 Final Thoughts

This card came together with a joyful spirit and a jolly palette—perfect for sending warm wishes this season. If you’re participating in the BYSHC challenge or just looking for inspiration, Sketch 62 is a fantastic place to start!

Warm Wishes with Sketch 62 – A BYSHC Holiday Card

 

❄️ Warm Wishes with Sketch 62 – A BYSHC Holiday Card

Today’s cardmaking adventure is all about festive flair and creative joy! I dove into the latest BYSHC (Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers) sketch challenge using Sketch 62 from Crystal, and it was the perfect layout to spotlight some of my favorite seasonal supplies.

🖌️ The Ingredients

• Recollections Paper Pad: I chose a mix of patterns from this pad to bring in texture and holiday charm. The prints are classic and versatile—great for layering!

• Inkblended Background Panel: I created a soft, wintry blend using distress inks to add depth and atmosphere. It’s a subtle way to make the focal elements pop.

• Warm Wishes Die: This sentiment die from Scrapbook & Cards Today’s Holiday Event is a showstopper. I cut it from ink-blended cardstock for a little extra punch.

🎨 Sketch 62 Magic

Crystal’s Sketch 62 gave me a strong foundation to build on. I followed the layout closely but added my own twist by turning it sideways to better suit my design. It’s amazing how a good sketch can unlock so many creative possibilities!

✨ Final Touches

I finished the card with a glitter cardstock snowdrift nestled between the layers. The result? A warm, heartfelt holiday greeting that’s ready to spread cheer.
