Today we’re shaking things up with a sketch challenge — aka the perfect creative prompt when your crafty brain is like “…what do I make??” 😅
A sketch gives you a blueprint — but you get to bring the magic ✨

And oh my gosh… I LOVED this layout!

🕊️ Peaceful Doves & Winter Magic

For today’s sketch, I went full elegant Christmas vibes — think peaceful winter nights, candlelight, glittering snowflakes and soft dove wings floating through the air ❄️🤍

I used the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! Peace of Earth bundle to create a layered focal piece — and paired it with strips of soft blue & neutral tones from the Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper to mimic the sketch layout. I then added glittered leaves, twine, and a bold circular background to anchor everything.
The sentiment?
Peace, Love & Joy — because honestly, what more could we want this season? 🌟

I adore how serene this turned out… like a little handcrafted Christmas wish card for the soul.

📬 Inside the Card

Soft, simple and meaningful — I added a delicate dove, subtle stars and a touch of shimmer to keep the peaceful theme flowing to the inside too.
