{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 24 ~ September 2021 KOM Looking Forward ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with my weekly Christmas card using the {BYSHC} Sketch 24 from Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers and this week I was excited to finally color up the gorgeous poinsettia from the September 2022 Kit of the Month called Looking Forward from Unity!! Love this beautiful stamp!!

I paired up this gorgeous poinsettia with the beautiful Simple Vintage Country Christmas 6 x 8" paper pad from Simple Stories. I cut my green polka dot papers to cover the entire card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". The red sentiment paper was cut just as the sketch calls for ~ 1-3/4 x 5-1/2" and I adhered it to the green polka dot paper. I cut the green and red plaid paper slightly larger than the sketch calls for ~ 1-3/4 x 3-7/8". Making sure that some of the pretty plaid showed around the poinsettia.

I stamped the beautiful poinsettia with Gina K. Design Black Amalgam ink on Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink.

I colored up the poinsettia with the following Copic markers:

Poinsettia Center ~ Y11, Y15, Y28

Reds ~ R20, R14, R27

Greens ~ YG11, G24, G46

Berries ~ C00, C3

I fussy cut the poinsettia with my EK Success Cutter Bee Scissors leaving a skinny white border around the image. I adhered the poinsettia directly to the card. I was going to use the beautiful Christmas Wishes sentiment from the KOM but it was a little too big and would have covered up that pretty plaid paper... SO I decided to go with a quick and easy Holiday Talk metallic sentiment sticker from Tim Holtz / Idea-ology.

Here's a look at the fun {BYSHC} Sketch 24 for the month of July!
