{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 40 ~ Joy of Baby Jesus ~ Unity Stamp Co.

 Hello there crafty friend!

I'm sharing one last Christmas card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 40 for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group. This month's sketch is really great for those larger stamped images so I was excited to play with the Joy of Baby Jesus stamp from Unity.

This beautiful stamp was one of many released during the Brown Thursday/Black Friday sales over at Unity and I just love it! So pretty and perfect for holiday cards.

I paired it up with the beautiful Star of Bethlehem paper pad from Hobby Lobby that I got a couple of months ago. I just love the blues and black in these pretty papers and thought they complimented the sweet stamped image so nicely.

I did alter the sketch for my design just a bit by using the second largest stitched rectangle die from the Scallops & Rectangles {nesting dies} to die cut the panel. So it's larger than the sketch calls for and I omitted the mat. I also moved my sentiment and just added another strip of pattern paper to lay across the image in place of the sentiment strip. Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11

Hair: N1

Clothes: E50, E51, B91, B93, B95, B97, E21, E23, E25

Outline: B0000

Ground: E23

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch 40 for the month of December!

There's still a few days to play along with the sketch! The challenge ends on December 31st. I hope you'll join in the fun and start building your stash of holiday cards for 2024.
