It’s Thursday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends challenge! It’s a fun sketch challenge this week!

ORNAMENTAL CHRISTMAS
I went with a square card since the layout looked more symmetrical to me! I also used my Ornamental Christmas Bundle for the first time! I love these bottle trees and made mine in some pretty non-traditional colors!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5 x 10 Summer Splash cardstock, scored at 5 and folded to form the base card.
- A 3-1/2 x 5 piece of Regals Distressed Patterns Specialty DSP was colored with Summer Splash Ink using a Blending Brush and adhered across the center.
- The bottle brush Ornamental Christmas trees were stamped with Pretty in Pink, Summer Splash and Peach Pie Inks on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Die. They were added across the DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals, overlapping slightly.
- Some gold Black & White & Gold Baker’s Twine was wrapped in several loops and then adhered to the trees on the right.
- The greeting from Ornamental Christmas was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 3-1/2 strip of Summer Splash cardstock and the ends cut at an angle. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Summer Splash 2024-26 In Color Flat Pearls were added to the background.

This turned out how I pictured it in my head! So happy when that happens! Check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
