Santa's Workshop

Hi and welcome!  I'm here with another wonderful sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches team!  This week our hostess is our talented Canadian friend, Jen Brum.


Such a great sketch, is it not?  I decided to create a little scene using some teeny-tiny stamps from the October Hero Arts kit.



Santa and Mrs Claus were so tiny they were hard to color with any level of competence 😃  The mountains were stamped and then masked before sponging on the sky area.  A stitched slope was added in white and the rest of the images were die-cut and added to the panel.  I lightly added some white ink to the trees to give a bit of definition.


Thanks for visiting!  The design team have some gorgeous cards using the sketch so I hope you'll check them out.



Products used:

Stamps:  My Monthly Hero Oct 17 (Hero Arts)
Ink:  Versamark, Black Licorice Hybrid, Salty Ocean Distress Oxide, Unicorn White
Cardstock:  Hot Fudge, Chili Powder, Elf Green (MFT), Desert Storm, X-Press It

    I love your teeny-tiny Santa and Mrs. Claus, Karren...they're so cute and they work perfectly for the sketch! You are the 'Queen' of Copic coloring in my book, so all the images look fabulous and I love the font on your sentiment! I'm going to try to play along this week...thanks for your inspiration :)
