{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 63

 Welcome to the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog!! 

It's time for a new sketch challenge for the month of November!! I hope you're playing along with us each month and building your stash of holiday cards. Christmas is getting closer and closer! The {BYSH} Cardmakers team is sharing some wonderful inspiration for this month's sketch! Before we check those out let's have a look at this month's sketch...

A fun vertical panel for papers or a stamped image. Lots of space in the background and then two thin strips to break it up. So many 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!
