Sentimental Wishes – Delivering Cheer

Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#705) challenge.  This week, Joanne has chosen a fun option for us.  Are you team Spots or team Stripes?

I selected the Atlantic Hearts (#592) Sketch for my Spots and am showcasing the Sentimental Wishes Bundle (stamp set and dies) and the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper, new Holiday products that will be available on September 4^th.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Real Red / Basic White Dot patterned piece of paper.
• Diagonal Sentiment Strip: (4½” x 1”) Garden Green Dot patterned piece of paper.
  • The sentiment, Sending Love & Christmas Cheer, from the retired Delivering Cheer stamp set was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with White Embossing Powder.  The sentiment was chosen for the message as well as its compact size.
• Diagonal Panel: (4½” x 1¾”) Multi Colored Dot patterned piece of paper.
• Focal Image – Christmas Stocking & Holly: Basic White cardstock scraps.
  • The Christmas Stocking and the Holly images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors selected: Both Light and Dark Real Red, Granny Apple Green and Wild Wheat along with Light Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate.
  • The Christmas Stocking and the Holly were die-cut with the coordinating Dies.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The Christmas Stocking was popped up with Dimensionals.

I love a red and green Holiday card and this one has it in spades.  Dots and Spots and more…

Thanks for spending some of your time with me today and I hope you will consider joining us for this week’s Paper Player’s challenge.  I would love to see what you choose, spots or stripes, and how you will use them.  Please remember that to be considered for a win, you may only enter three other challenges with the same card.

Cheers,  Jolanda!
