Sketch Challenge - Sweetest Star

This is such a fun card with the snowflake background and that cute little Santa Claus. I made this for the weekly Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge. I used the Sweetest Star Stamp Set and Peaceful Evergreens Bundle.

 
 

Here’s the sketch I used. You can click on the sketch to see other projects posted for this week’s challenge.

 
 

Tips & Instructions

  • Boho Blue Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

  • Basic White - 3 3/4 x 5, use the die from the Peaceful Evergreens Die to create the snowy background. I ran the layer through twice to get 2/3 of the layer die cut. Adhere the layer to the card base.

  • Basic White - 2 x 4, tear in half and adhere the 2 pieces to the bottom area of the die cut layer to create the snowy bottom.

  • Stamp the largest tree from the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set on Basic White in Shaded Spruce ink. Die cut with the coordinating die. Adhere to the card.

  • Stamp the Santa image on basic white in Black Memento ink. There’s a coordinating punch but I fussy cut it. Color with Stampin’ Blends. I used Dark Real Red, Dark Basic Black, Dark Wild Wheat and Light Color Combo.

  • Add Wink of Stella to the beard and white trim on the coat and hat.

  • Basic White - 1 3/4 x 1 3/4, stamp sentiment in Real Red. Adhere to a 1 7/8 x 1 7/8 piece of Boho Blue. Adhere to the card with Dimensionals.

  • Adhere the Santa with Dimensionals.

 
 

On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4), stamp the medium size tree in Shaded Spruce direct and then a second time without re-inking. Stamp again on scrap and then on the layer to get another light image. Stamp the sentiment in Real Red ink. I masked the sentiment to get it in two lines.

 
 

The snowy background layer is so fun.
