Christmas in July

Frances posted this wonderful sketch challenge over in the Hanna Stamps forum on SCS. As an extra challenge, she asked us to make it a Christmas card. I don't think I have ever made a Christmas card this early before. I'm just going to have to remember where I put it once December rolls around! This gave me a chance to ink up one of my new Riley stamps. He is stamped on Very Vanilla with Palette Burnt Umber. I then colored him in with my Koh-i-noor pencils and OMS. The tree is cut out and raised with a dimensional. The main image is cut out using my circle Coluzzle. I positioned it so his antler would stick out at the top. The next circle was cut with a combo of the circle Coluzzle and my Magic Matter. The scallop circle is made using my Giga punch. I also broke open my new Christmas paper from TAC called Reece. Love those colors together!!! I poked some holes along the cranberry strip with my paper piercer. The sentiment is from a retired TAC set called Chicken Scratch. Thanks for stopping by!

I am a TAC demo. If you have any question or would like to look at my website where you can view or order our products, just let me know!
