Happy November, my crafty friends! I'm not quite sure where October went, but WHOOSH...it's gone! Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween and are looking forward to some of the colder weather holidays. I, personally, look forward to the holidays, just not the colder weather. Here in Michigan, it gets pretty chilly and my poor old bones are just not excited! lol
It's also time again for a brand new sketch from Sketch Saturday. Sketch #738 was a fun one for me. I love cards with panels. And I really enjoy sparking my creative brain with a sketch and the satisfaction I feel when I've finished the project. As the holidays approach, life gets kind of hectic. What better way to escape for a brief time than to play along with a sketch challenge?!
Here is the sketch and my finished project:

I love using colors other than the traditional red and green for holiday cards. The tiny boughs of holly are so dainty and the dark blue card base really sets it off. I used some dies to highlight the sentiment panel. Both of the dies are cut from the same cardstock, but I used a little darker ink pad swipe over one of them to add a little dimension.
For the inside of the card, I followed through with the color theme and paper, adding another die cut branch to top it off.
The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! They have such beautiful sentiments, it's never difficult to find the perfect one.
Do you have a "go to" technique that you frequently add to your cards? Leave me a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
