Stuck

Hi!  This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was designed by Jen Brum and I used it to make my first Christmas card of the year.

 

I couldn't resist MFT Stamps' latest card kit and it arrived last week.  I used one of the examples in the kit to create my ink-blended background which I then hot-foiled with gold "snow" once it was dry.  The Santa and chimney were oloured with Copics and die-cut and the sentiment was also hot-foiled.

When it came time to sort out a card base, I didn't want to go with white so went with Eggplant which is a lovely deep purple shade.  Of course, I had to emboss it with the Subtle embossing folder!  I matted the central image with gold mirror cardstock and then adhered all the elements onto the card base.

Thanks for visiting!  Please do check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.
