I used that great Sketch again from the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and combined it with the Stamp TV Challenge to make a monochromatic project and the Great Impressions November Challenge, Holiday Card or Tag.
And here is what I came up with:
He is a Jolly Old Soul! The stamps are from the Wishing You Joy set available from Gina K Designs. Stamped in Riding Hood Red ink from Stampin' Up! I fussy cut the die stamp shape and added layers using Scalloped Circles by Spellbinders, and Santa is stamped on a Classic Circle die. I like the way the scalloped circle is just a tad smaller than the stamped die image, leaving a little bit of a white pattern all around. See it? Just a teeny tiny bit. Designer Papers by Echo Park, Holly Jolly Christmas and Season's Greetings. The sentiment is white embossing powder. I then added glitter to Santa's hat and beard, I neglected his mustache but I think he looks just fine.
Check out these Challenges, it's so easy to create with GREAT products and GREAT sketches!

ReplyDeleteTo coin a phrase from the lovely Angelica Schmidt...this card is AWESOME! Love that little naughty or nice check off option, too cute! AND beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteI love this card! You do such a wonderful job combining challenges. Love the layout, the reds, that cute Santa and the option box. lol Well done, my friend!
ReplyDeleteAs I said on Facebook, I LOVE this stamp set from last year and wish I would have gotten it. You have really put it to good use here. Stamping the Santa in red and not coloring it works perfectly. And I love the whole mono thing going in. Super cute!!
ReplyDeleteVery fun, and I love that you made it monochromatic, too, Donna! Thanks so much for playing with us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it!! You always manage to put your cards together so perfectly. Love the glittery hat and beard...perfect touch not to glitter the mustache. Very well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing...if you send this to me you will definitely have to check naughty tee-hee
