{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 69

 Welcome to the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!! 

It's time for a new sketch challenge for the month of May!! Let's build our stash of holiday cards for 2026! The {BYSH} Cardmakers team is sharing some beautiful inspiration for this month's sketch! Before we check those out, let's have a look at the sketch...

There's some fun layers for this landscape card! The focal image is within a circle {or any shape} with an offset circle sentiment. Lots of possibilities! The measurements are there as a guide... to inspire, not require. Hope the ideas start flowing and you can build your stash of holiday cards!
