Trucking Along for a Sketch Challenge!
Good Morning and welcome to a new creative challenge at Create With Connie & Mary. This week we all used this sketch for our projects:
I used lots of products on my card today and even added a little trailer that sits behind the truck! I also used Stampin’ Blends Markers to color all of the Christmas presents too!
Before I give you the steps to replicating my card, look at a few more photos of the details:
