Hello friends, can you believe November is here already? This has to be one of the quickest years on record! A new month means a new challenge, and this month we have a sketch challenge for you!
The winner of our September challenge, Michelle Langley, is kicking off this month's card challenge with this beautiful creation:
Michelle has used the Festive Blooms Bundle from Concord & 9th to create these beautiful poinsettias, which she has made into a vertical arrangement, as per the sketch - so clever! The white background and the banner have also been created using the same stamp & die set.
Michelle also used the Altenew Metallic Watercolor 14 Pan Set that she received for winning our September challenge, for the gold accents.
Finally, Michelle added some shading on her flowers with a dark red distress oxide.
A big thank you to Michelle for guest designing for our card challenge this month!
