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.

Clean and simple, but the extra delightful details of the satin ribbon, sponging and embossing make it a wow! I really love this one!
