{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 52 ~ Joy of the Season ~ Gina K. Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with a little inspiration for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 52 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a lovely Christmas card featuring a wonderful die and stamp set from our amazing sponsor, Gina K. Designs, called Joy of the Season! 

Unfortunately, the Joy of the Season stamp set was an exclusive set in collaboration with Simon Says Stamp for STAMPtember maybe a couple of years ago now, so it's no longer available. I sure do love it though! I stamped the gorgeous deer using Sea Glass and Tranquil Teal inks from Gina K. Designs. I fussy cut the deer leaving a white border.

I die cut Sea Glass card stock from Gina K. Designs using the gorgeous Snowflake Cover Plate die. I then trimmed a piece of white card stock to fit behind the cover plate die. I adhered a 1-3/4" wide piece of Sea Glass card stock across the front of a white A2 card base.

I heat embossed the beautiful sentiment using my go to mix of products: TE Anti-Static Powder Tool, Sugar Cube Pigment Ink, Alabaster White Embossing Powder and a Wagner Precision Heat Tool. I trimmed the sentiment and mat it with white card stock. I adhered all of the layers to the card using Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue and popped up the deer using Scrapbook Adhesive Crafty Foam Tape. And I finished off the card with pretty Frosty Rhinestones from Gina Marie Designs. 

Here's a look at {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 52 for the month of December. I decided to do an A2 card instead of the mini slimline design in the sketch. If you're not a fan of mini slimline cards, feel free to alter the design for an A2 card like I did or even an A7 card. Whatever works for you. If you're interested in seeing a bit more inspiration for this sketch, check out the amazing inspiration from the design team over on the {BYSH} Cardmakers blog! The design team, as always, rocked this sketch!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky hugs,

Crystal
