Time for a new sketch challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! The White Pines Collection was still residing on my desk and I was drawn to the Avocado Border strip that is included on the coordinating sticker sheet. I decided it would be perfect for the sketch design, and it became the basis for my card. Here is the original sketch design for you to create with-

I went with a slightly vintage feel by distressing all the edges of my French Vanilla cardstock. I distressed the edges of the cardstock by running my microtip scissors against the grain. I dry embossed my center panel and popped up a couple of trees from the same sticker sheet with 3-D foam tape for added dimension. My sentiment was stamped in Avocado ink and a few enamel dots finish off the card.
My card was created with the White Pines Collection. This gorgeous collection is perfect for all of your holiday crafting! You can save 20% when you purchase the bundle of products! This special ends August 31, or while supplies last!
