Christmas, Rudolph

Hello, and thanks for joining me. Today is the big day over at Sandra's Stamping for Pleasure. The Challenge opens on the 25th of each month & runs until the end of the month. There's some goodies for prizes, so if you can, hop on over to look at the projects that are entered, and perhaps even jump right on in yourself. There's a Rules tab at the top of the page to make it easy to enter.  Here goes with my entry for this month:

- Stampabilities Nutcracker stamp (got on sale just before this past Christmas). Used Copic Xpress paper & copic markers, with a Spica pen or two for a touch of glitz. Also added a touch of Glossy Accents on the blue of the hat, belt, cuff & the gem on his staff. Was about to get real carried away with the glossy stuff

- diecut image with a S/Binder deckled rectangle.
- diecut mat with a S/B classic rectangle, using gold mirror paper. As I usually do, I had a smaller rectangle inside the outer rectangle, to save layers, plus added bonus of a {sigh} snippet for later projects
- black lattice is a new S/Binder (think it is the Basic Lattice-S5-151), covering plain red cardstock.
- mat cut from blue mirror cardstock just to fit the previous layer, and center portion removed with a rectangle die.
- All layers adhered to textured red Bazzill cardbase.
- sentiment was from a clear stamp set, Cloud 9, diecut with S/Binder ribbon banners, embossed with versamark, then heat embossed with Ranger Queen's Gold.

This card is a bit larger than I usually make, (primarily due to the fact I wanted to use that lattice die, and it is oversize. Then I felt that layer needed the blue to perk up the color scheme...). This one will be hand delivered I think. So off we go to join all the talented cardmakers at Rudolph Day. Wheeee for the majic carpet ride across the big Pond! Won't you come along? As always, have a wonderful day, and Blessings. Come again when you have time.
