Sentimental Christmas | Dot Dot Stamping Designs

Welcome back to another Sketch Saturday challenge.

I’ve been missing in action for the last couple of sketch challenges as both my son and I were down with a very nasty flu which has been going around here. It certainly was nasty and laid us both low for a few weeks. But we are both well again and enjoying the beautiful spring weather.

Here is the new sketch for your inspiration, and this fortnight we are adding the additional challenge of making a sympathy card, however I have chosen to make a Christmas card.

I have combined some of the Country Woods Designer Series Paper with the beautiful Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper for my card today.

You can find the rest of the Design Team’s ideas for this challenge on the Sketch Saturday blog.
Why not join us and share your projects inspired by our sketch? We love to see what you have been creating.

Hope you have a crafty weekend.
Happy stamping,
Chris

Hi and welcome.
Today is the first time this year that I am taking part in the Heart of Christmas Blog Hop.
Each week some of the members of the Art with Heart Team share their talent and ideas with some wonderful Christmas inspiration.

My card today uses some of the Sentiment Christmas Suite, including the gorgeous Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper. So yummy!!
These are in the Mini Catalogue which goes live in just two days time, on the 4th September, 2024.

The stocking image is stamped with Stazon ink onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and watercoloured with inks and a Water Painter.
Over the top of the white areas of the stocking, I have added some silver Metallic Enamel Effects which I have brushed on.
The layer of Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper has been distressed around the edges and sponged with some Crumb Cake ink, and then adhered to a Pretty Peacock cardbase. Before I added the stocking, I lightly flicked some white craft ink onto the paper but it doesn’t show up well in the photo. I have also added some dots of gold Metallic Enamel Effects onto the paper and also a couple on the stocking image and the bow.

Next along on our Blog Hop is the lovely Christine Blain.

If the next button link is not working or you’d like to see the entire list of participants in our Blog Hop today, you can head over to Sharon Davern’s blog.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy hopping along through all the Christmas inspiration.
Happy stamping,
Chris
