Merry & Bright

Hi Friends! It’s Dana here again today and I am excited to be back with another fun Christmas card. Today I am using the adorable Santa’s Village Set.

I started my card by stamping all of my images from the Santa’s Village Stamp Set with a Copic friendly black ink. I then colored my images with Copic markers and used the Santa’s Village Dies to cut them out.

I set my images aside and began working on my card panel. To create my sky I ink blended Distress Oxide Ink in Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch and Tumbled Glass onto a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock. I then added a few white splatters to my background and my images. Once the splatters were dry I inset the blended background behind my card panel and attached my images with foam adhesive.

Lastly, I used the Holiday Sentiment Duos Stamp Set to create my sentiment strip. I stamped it onto black cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. This is such a great set of sentiments, I love how it includes sentiments for both fall and winter holidays.

Thanks for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed the cards I have shared this month and I would love to have you follow me on my own blog DKirbyStamps. Thanks also to Heffy Doodle for asking me to be a guest designer this month. It has been a lot of fun and I appreciate the opportunity.

Enjoy your day,

Dana
