Christmas in July 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party ~ Up On the Rooftop ~ Brutus Monroe

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back for day 5 of the Christmas in July 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party and today I'm sharing a sweet card using a stamp from return Sponsor Brutus Monroe called Up On the Rooftop!! Oh my goodness... I just love the detail in this beautiful stamp! One of my many weaknesses when it comes to Christmas stamps is Santa stamps and I just love this one! Sadly, I'm not seeing this stamp on the Brutus Monroe website anymore but I did see a whole bunch of fab new releases for Christmas in July!! 

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Stampers Select white card stock from Papertrey Ink. I like to use Memento black ink for clear stamps because it's cleans off very nicely. I did use my Stamp Platform to stamp this image... I find sometimes with clear stamps you have to be sure not to have air bubbles under your stamp otherwise the stamp doesn't give you a clean crisp image. It did take me a few tries to stamp this image but boy was it worth it! Love it!

Here's my quick list of Copic markers that I used to color up this sweet Santa card:

Skin ~ E00, E11, E04

Hair ~ C00, C2

Santa Suit ~ C00, C2, R20, R14, R27

Santa's Bag ~ R20, R14, R27, Y35 {ribbon}

Chimney ~ E23, E19

Trees ~ YG11, G24, G46

House ~ E23, E25

Snow ~ C00, C2, C3

Sky ~ B0000, B00, B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

Once I was done coloring I splattered a bunch of white acrylic paint all over the image for some snow. At first I had only done some in the sky for stars but then I got to thinking it's Christmas... who doesn't love a white Christmas?! So I went a little nuts with the snow. But I think it adds to the card!

I die cut a piece of white card stock with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs. I then trimmed the Santa panel to fit just inside the wonky stitched lines of the white layer. I adhered the two layers together and then adhered them to a True Black card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". I adhered my entire panel to a white A2 top fold card base and set it aside. I stamped the sentiment on True Black card stock from Papertrey Ink with Clear Embossing ink from Brutus Monroe and melted some Alabaster White embossing powder, also from Brutus Monroe. I trimmed it up and popped it up on the card with foam tape. Done! Love it!
