Faux Santa Postage Sketch Challenge

Every Wednesday on my blog I post a new Card Sketch challenge for anyone to try. There's even a chance for Blog Candy for anyone who participates.

For this week's sketch challenge, I created this Faux Postage Santa card. This stamp is a new one by DRS Designs. They just released many new Christmas Images.

I created my own pattern paper for this card by stamping the North Pole Postmark image repeatedly on white cardstock. Then, I chalked the background around each image with peach colored chalk, and colored each Santa's face and hat with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I used a decorative corner punch on each corner. After I added the ribbon, I matted the paper as shown.

I heat embossed the sentiment with red Embossing powder and inked the edges with red ink. I used my Nesties to create the tag, and added bits of ribbon to accent it.



As a finishing touch, I added red and white Stickles to each Santa's Hat.
