I’ve been a little under the weather so I missed posting on Monday. I probably won’t be posting 3 times a week as I won’t be able to keep up with that and trying to keep my craft room from blowing up. Seriously, it is sooooo trashed right now!
I stopped at Hobby Lobby to pick up a few Christmas picks for card photos and came across the cutest paper pad by The Paper Studio. I don’t use a lot of patterned paper and I have a ton of of it. But I had to have this pad. The charcoal black background in many of the sheets is so cool. I couldn't link to it because it wasn't on Hobby Lobby's site.
I created this card based on a My Favorited Things Sketch Challenge #250 but just now realized I missed the deadline. Darn It! Maybe I’ll use that same pad to make one for next weeks challenge. ):
You guys need to let me know how much detail you want me to go into on how I made the card. I really don't want to bore you with long posts.
I stamped the adorable dancing Santa from MFT's Jingle All The Way stamp set on watercolor paper and colored with Distress inks. I did not do the no line technique because I felt he really needed the black outline.
I stamped the sentiment from that same stamp set onto 40# vellum and attached it to the tag which I die cut using the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Duo 3 die and then created the banner bottom with a die set called Fishtail Banner Dies from a new company named Sunny Studio. I did a whole lot of die cutting and fussy cutting on this card.
