Stamping 411 Sketch 173

Hi Everyone,

What a fast week, huh? It’s already time for yet another Sketch Challenge from Stamping 411

Here is the sketch:

…and my interpretation.

….as Patty Chesky said: “She’s backkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!” She cracks me up. So I know I use a lot of white and I challenged myself to do more color cards and I did…..but I just couldn’t with this one. All because I wanted to put a moon in the image piece…makes sense, right? hehe

This is just my own personal vision of how Old St. Nick would have looked. Doesn’t the white and blue make it sort of icy cold looking…just like it should be? It was fun creating this….I hope you enjoy it.

The white Card is cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2

The Marina Mist Mat is 4 x 5 1/4

White embossed piece is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8

Image Piece was stamped on a scrap and cut out.

I colored the image with Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens.

I made mask for the moon with my 1 1/4” circle punch and cut the circle out of a post it note with some sticky on it. Placed it on top of the reindeer and part on St. Nick and added the blue with my pencils and blender pen. Then removed the mask. Once I was finished I cut all around the Holly (not for the weak of heart)!! It was a lot of little cuts that’s for sure. I then mounted it on with dimensionals and added my double bow. That’s it.

I hope you will play along this week or just stop by the Stamping 411 blog and see what the other Operators are up to.

Thanks for stopping in and hope to see you back soon.

Have a Stampnglee good Day!
