{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 69 ~ Santa Paws Newton ~ Newton's Nook Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

It's time for a new sketch challenge over in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! Today I'm sharing a cute Christmas card featuring a sweet stamp from our wonderful Sponsor Newton's Nook Designs! One lucky winner will win a $20 gift code to Newton's Nook Designs!! Yippee!

 I inked up one of the adorable kitties from the Santa Paws Newton Stamp Set and die cut it using the coordinating Santa Paws Newton Die Set. I colored this cute stamp with Copic markers that are similar to the colors in the pretty papers I chose.

Copic Markers used:

Kitty: R00, R20, W0, W1, W3, W5

Santa Coat / Hat: C0, C2, R20, R14, R27

Belt: N1, N3, N6, Y15, Y28 

Bag: G000, G21, G82, G85

Presents: E30, E31, E33, R20, R14, R27, G000, G21, G82

I paired the cute kitty up with the Christmas Party 6x6 Paper Pad. There are SOOO many beautiful papers in the paper pad it was really hard to chose which ones I wanted to use. I narrowed it down to four that worked well together.

I die cut my card front panel using the scalloped die from the Circle Frames Die Set. I stamped the sentiment and then die cut it using the stitched circle die from the same set. To finish off the card, I popped up the Santa kitty and the sentiment using foam tape.
