Stamping 411 sketch challenge with Christmas Postcard...



I'm always up for a challenge, especially when it's with a simple sketch like this one from http://stamping411.blogspot.com/. First, I turned the sketch sideways and grabbed my Christmas Postcard stamp, Shimmery White and Rich Razzleberry card stocks. Of course I felt the card needed some texture, so I ran the Shimmery White card stock through the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, then used a sponge dauber to rub Crumb Cake ink over the top. I used an aqua painter and the Crumb Cake pad to color in the letters.
Stamps: Christmas Postcard (Holiday Mini);
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Crumb Cake pads;
Paper: Shimmery White, Rich Razzleberry;
Accessories: 5/8" Rich Razzleberry satin ribbon, aqua painter, sponge dauber, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Stampin' Dimensionals.
