July Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone

and welcome to the first July challenge at 

52 Christmas Card Throwdown!

  

I'm Deborah and I'm hosting our challenges this month.  

As always we start with a sketch and I hope you will come and play along with us.

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

We can't wait to see you interpret this sketch and we're looking forward to all the beautiful cards you'll share with us! 

 Myself and the team are looking forward to seeing what you create and share with us.
