Hi Everyone, it's Saturday, and that means time for another challenge From Speedy's The Cat's Friends! http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.co...llenge-28.html This weeks challenge #28, is to use piercing on your card. Please take note that's piercing, not paper piecing, lol...I guess I was speed reading and made a paper pieced card first...so you'll just have to wait to see that one!
I used piercing around the Santa stamp image and down the little faux strap holding the Ho, Ho, Ho!
The main image and both sentiments are from a new Mark's Finest Papers stamp set, Christmas Postage Due. It will be released next week. I lucked out when I found this dp with stamps on it, so I thought it would be great for this set!
I stamped the image onto vanilla and coloured lightly with copics. I also outlined Santa's glasses with a gold atyou spica.
I got the sketch from MTSC98, The card base is cherry cobbler then always artichoke embossed with 2 different folders. The first was the Christmas Countdown, but because I made my card 5.5 x 5.5, it didn't completely fit and because it's a big folder it doesn't fit sideways in the Big Shot! So I used the snowflake EF on the edge.
The aged paper panel was made using a Tim Holtz notebook EF, and I sponged on some TH antique linen & vintage photo!
