Verve Holiday Release Sketch 2

The sketch for the Day 2 Holiday Release was a really cute one. It looked complicated but really wasn’t. It does make a great card. I am really enjoying using my fall stamps and paper.

I decided I wanted to try one so I downloaded the tutorial. In the tutorial they had directions for a smaller version which is the one I used (with some modifications). This was so much fun that I went crazy making…
