Good morning! Happy Monday and welcome to another Sketch Spotlight challenge with StampTV, Gina K and the team!
If you follow my blog or are familiar with my sets, you know I love puns! I'd been thinking about making a card like this for a couple weeks, after I was reminded by many of our GKD customers and fans during our peeks of holiday images that Christmas isn't associated with Wintery weather in their part of the world, but summer! o this holiday card is beach inspired, "Jingle Shells", get it? hee!! This sketch I thought was perfect for using the border from "A Year of Borders", large sand dollar from "Gifts from the Sea" as the focal point and some little bells as accents!
I created a computer generated sentiment and printed it on white layering weight CS to go below the border. Images are embossed with Versamark and gold EP.
Base and mats are Red Hot, ribbon is 5/8" stitched Pure Luxury. I pierced holes through the border layer and hung the bells from jump rings.

Hope you'll pay along with our challenge! Be sure to upload your card with the keyword STVSKSP3 to the StampTV gallery, and be sure to check out Gina's newest video with this sketch and more samples from our team!
Talk to you soon, it's abusy, BUSY week getting ready for Thanksgiving, house guests, AND our new release next week, eek! :)
