SSSC 198

Karen has another fabulous Sweet Sunday Sketch for us this week


Maybe it's the time of year or the snow outside my stamp room window (although we do have a Chinook so it's melting!) but I decided to may another Christmas card.


I've had Inspired by Christmas  from MFT for a LONG time and this is the first time I inked up one of the images!  I stamped the image onto bella's bestest white card stock and coloured his suit and hat with pencils blended with mineral spirits. I added a bit of shading on his beard with copics.   The DP is MME's Mistletoe Magic - I may have overbought it when I was planning my mass production holiday cards and I love non traditional patterns.  I used MFT's fishtail flags stax die-namics for the flag behind the image.

I continued the colour them on the inside of the card and added some fishtail flags stax die-namics in the dp.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set from MFT



If you play along with us remember to link your card on Karen's blog and please stop by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers blogs to see their creations.






Thanks for stopping by!
