July Sketch Challenge

Hi, Kathy, here.  Welcome to Christmas in July at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.    

I'm excited to be the hostess this month. We're officially half way through 2023 and for those of you who join us most weeks you have built up quite a stash of beautiful cards to send family and friends this next Christmas and New Years.  

Whether you are a regular player or this is your first visit, know that you are so welcome and please join us in this "sketch" challenge.  On the first Saturday of every month, we do a sketch and we would love to see a card you make using this simple sketch.     

Please feel free to "interpret" this sketch (using shapes of your choice and use whatever size of sentiment works for you).   That's what challenges are about after all.  We inspire one another!    One entrant will be selected to be a future guest designer!   

If you are new, we have submission guidelines and you might want to read these (below) before you start creating!    The design team has created some fabulous cards to help get your creativity flowing!    So let's do it!



Our Guest Designer this week is

June Technique Challenge

  Hello, Crafty Cardmakers,

Elizabeth here again as your June hostess.
I want to thank everyone who has participated so far this month. The team has truly enjoyed seeing all of your creations. Also I want to thank my fellow design team members for all of their wonderful inspiration. 

Now onto the last challenge of the month, which is a Technique Challenge. I would love you to BLEND your background or elements.  Often we achieve a blended effect with Distress or Distress Oxide inks, if you don't have any Distress inks in your stash, use whatever ink you have on hand! You can do a straight blend of color or consider blending over a stencil... or perhaps you have another idea in mind that you would like to share with the team.  We look forward to seeing your inspiration!


I want all of us to dive into our inks and find those colors that we would love to try blending!


Our Guest Designer this week is

Blažka

Thank you for taking on this stash challenge.


And here are the creations from the design team.
