Simply Stampin' Challenge - Sketch Week



I had a few attempts at this weeks entry for the Simply Stampin Challenge but eventually settled on the above card. I really enjoy the Sketch Challenges as it makes me think a bit more about the layout (I normally stick to asquare in the middle which gets a bit boring after a while).

It hasn't photographed very well (think I need to practice more!) and you can't see the versamark snowflakes on the backing card which doesn't help!!! (Any tips anyone?)

I purchased my Dasher stamp last year and love him. Wasn't going to bring him out this year as he featured on all my cards last year but couldn't resist as he's so lovely to play with. I stamped him in Bravo Burgandy and then glittered his antlers with some bronze glitter from my stash and used Dazzling Diamonds for the snowflakes and to add some 'snow' to his feet.

Think I may have to make a few of these to hand out over the Christmas period - once my new tape pens arrive. I had to resort to wet glue and it made the card buckle slightly but having used up everything else it was a last resort!

  1. Wow Rach! That's turned out really well, but I know what you mean about the photography! I struggle with that too!! Did you put anything on the versamark? If not bring the card over later as I have an idea!! xxx
