September Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the first September challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown!

I'm Rosi - in September it's my turn to guide you through the challenges.

As always we start the month with a sketch, here is the one I came up with. Hope you like it!

Remember, you can flip it over or upside down. Whatever works for you.

You can stretch it or use other shapes as long as we can see the basic sketch on your card.

Here is some inspiration from the Design Team...
