I’m excited to share how I created this fun, festive card using the Simon Hurley create. Sketched Santas stamp set! I started by stamping the adorable holiday images with Jet Black Archival Ink and then coloring them in with Distress Watercolor Pencils. Once I had them all colored, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I moved on to the background by stenciling the first Sunrays layer on half of a 4x5.25” panel of Stark White Cardstock using Bee Sting ink. I layered the second Sunrays stencil over the first and applied Fake Plant ink. To add a bit of "sparkle", I stamped the Bursts with Shooting Star ink along the bottom half of the panel.

To finish the design, I stamped a sentiment from the Sketched Santas set in Jet Black ink just below the stenciling on the stamped bursts. Then, I adhered the die cut Santas with both foam and liquid adhesive for a bit of dimension. Finally, I attached the panel to an A2 card base, and my card was complete! The combination of bright stenciled rays, the fun Santa images, and the cheerful sentiment gives this card a warm, joyful feel—perfect for the holidays!
