Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
This elegant Christmas card makes use of stamping tone-on-tone and in white to create interesting layers of background texture.
A Night of Navy Cardstock panel was stamped randomly with the various star images from the Stars at Night Photopolymer Stamp set using Night of Navy Classic Ink. The splatter stamp from the Quiet Meadow Cling Stamp Set was stamped in White Craft Ink to add additional texture to the background. This panel was adhered to a Crumb Cake Cardstock mat. A strip of Crumb Cake Cardstock was stamped repeatedly with the line of stars image stamp from the Stars at Night set in Crumb Cake Classic Ink. A triangle was cut from one end of the strip to create the banner end, and the strip adhered to the left hand side of the mounted stamped panel.
A banner was cut from Misty Moonlight Cardstock using the die sized just over 2" wide from the Nested Essentials Dies, and stamped with the grouped trio of stars stamp from the Stars at Night set using White Craft ink. The largest sentiment from the Night Divine Cling Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Crumb Cake ink, and cut out using the stitched square die sized just under 2" from the Stylish Shapes Dies. This square was attached to the stamped Misty Moonlight banner. The "joy and peace" sentiment from the Stars at Night set was stamped on a Night of Navy Cardstock strip using Versamark Ink and embossed in white. The right end was cut at an angle, and the sentiment strip added on top of the Basic White stitched square using Stampin' Dimensionals, and the whole element adhered to the stamped card panel.
Using the dies from the Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder set, star elements were cut from Gold Foil, Basic White Cardstock, and Adhesive-Backed Gold Glimmer Paper. The large layered element was added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals, and the smaller embellishments added using Glue Dots. Finally, the whole card front was adhered to a folded Night of Navy Cardstock base.
