Christmas in July

Time for another Sketch Saturday challenge, and our sponsor this week is...

Photobucket

You could be the lucky winner of a $25 shopping spree in their awesome store if you are this weeks challenge winner :)

I decided to make a crimbo card this week, using this fab 'Helping hand' image from Dustin Pike, coloured with promarkers.




The papers are by My Mind's Eye - 'complete boy' and I used 3 punches while making this card (4 if you include the circle punch for the Stamps Away sentiment)
The 3 punches were:
Xcut - Diamond
Xcut - Sparkler
All Night Media - snowflake
The xcut punches are fab, I will be getting more of their designs over time, they punch well and are easy to line up, the ANM punch however has always been very stiff to use with cardstock, I've tried punching through foil and greaseproof paper but it still sticks and won't do as it's told unless I use paper instead of cardstock (the cardstock used here is only 160gsm too) 
I had to get Hubby to punch out my snowflakes for me... brute force was needed.

I'm entering the following challenges with this card:
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Lollipop Crafts - anything goes
Bearly Mine Challenges - anything goes
One Stitch at a Time - use a digi
Sentimental Sundays - anything goes (plus a sentiment)
Digi's with Attitude - anything goes


yep, lots of anything goes challenges! ;)

Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to see what The Saturdays have made this week too,
have a wonderful weekend! xx
