{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 24 - Christmas Season Pinecones

Greetings Crafty Friends!

I'm sharing ONE more card for the {BYSCH} Sketch Challenge 24.  Sadly, this is my last challenge card as a Design Team member.  It's been a wonderful year, and I'm so thankful for the chance to participate.  Life has become too hectic now, and I have too many family obligations.  I will continue to participate as I can - I mean...I still have to get my Christmas cards made, right???  I think it's such a great idea to get at least a few made every month, and I truly LOVE the sketches that Crystal puts together!


I pulled colors directly from the Painted Christmas designer series papers, and went with an Evening Evergreen card base.  Embossed a piece of Early Espresso with the Merriest Frames hybrid embossing folder, for a little more texture.

I used a double-layer of Crumb Cake for the 2 1/4" square.  Embossed the smaller layer with the Timeworn Type folder.  I'm a big fan of using multiple embossing folders on the same project.  Pop this layer up!

Pinecones are stamped, die-cut and glued down flat.  Greeting is popped up.

Finish off with some Champagne Rhinestones on some of the pinecones...they are barely showing up in the picture.

Be sure to check out the BYSH Cardmakers blog for this month's sketch AND LOTS of other samples, and link to the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group.
