Comfort and Joy

Hi crafty friends!

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!

Today I am sharing a sweet Christmas card that I created using a new clear stamp set from

 Ink N Splatter titled, Santa's Treats.

Santa sure looks comfy doesn't he? 

I created my card by creating a card base from some Kraft cardstock and then covering the front with a piece of red patterned paper from the Gentle Winter 6x6 Paper Pad. I die cut another piece of Kraft cardstock out using a scallop die, placed it on my card and then layered a strip of white and green patterned paper from the Christmas Holidays 6x6 Paper Pad along the bottom. I stamped that adorable Santa from the Santa's Treats Clear Stamp set and colored him with my Copic markers. Once I had him colored, I used the coordinating die to cut him out. I thought it would be fun to paper piece his blanket so I used more of the white and green patterned paper and added some shading & definition with some green copics. I stamped my greeting, die cut it out and adhered it to a piece of red cardstock. I added some red satin ribbon to a piece of white cardstock, adhered it to my card front and popped up my Santa and sentiment with some foam tape. I completed my card with a little bit of white stickles to his hat and whipped cream and some white doodles with my gel pen. So cute!!! It is really sunny in my area today so my ribbon is photographing a lot brighter than it really is. It is actually more along the shade of the sentiment banner. Sorry about that. 

Copic Colors Used:

--Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20--

--Hair: C00, C0, C2--

--Boots/Belt: C4, C6--

--Suit: R24, R27, R29, R39--

--Cup: R27, R29, G40, G46--
