It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week it is a sketch challenge and I had fun with this one!

I thought about doing leaves, snowflakes, and even reindeer.  As I looked through the possibilities I decided on something totally different!

I used the Crafting With You dies and stamp set for my project.  It has been a while since I pulled out this set and dies and  it was so much fun.  Just love those little spools of thread, paper snips and the buttons!  I used Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight,  Real Red, Basic Black,  Smoky Slate and Crumb Cake cardstock.   The sentiment is from the Crafting With You stamp set.  The  Basic White circle was cut using the Everyday Details dies and the Basic Black circle layer was cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. The sweet ribbon is the Black & Vanilla Large Check Ribbon.  I wanted a little extra texture so I embossed the Basic White CS using the Eyelet 3D Embossing folder.

Inside I added a strip of Basic Black CS and a Crumb Cake basket die cut full of more spools of thread.  There are so many crafty and cute items in the  Crafting With You die set.  

Thank you for stopping by!  Make sure to check out what the rest of the design team created using the sketch,

• Flicked Early Espresso ink with a wet Water Painter on the leaves.  
• Brushed on Wink of Stella to the leaves.
• Layer the Very Vanilla layer on to the card base.
• Layer the DSP on the Very Vanilla.
• Attach the hexagon punch to the DSP layer.  Place adhesive in the middle of the hexagon to allow the leaves to be tucked under the hexagon.
