{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 63 ~ Blessed Angel ~ Angie Blom Digital Designs

Hello there crafty friend!

I'm back with one last card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 63 hosted in the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Facebook group! I absolutely love the gorgeous Blessed Angel from our fabulous Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs. I just had to use her for my card today.

I combined and resized the Blessed Angel along with a lovely sentiment from the Christmas Shop digi set in a Word Document and then I printed them off on white card stock. Next, I colored the angel with Copic markers. I then fussy cut her leaving a white border and popped her up on the black panel using foam tape.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20 

Hair: E95, E97, E19

Dress: C0, C1, C3, Colorless Blender

Flowers: B000, B02, B34, B37

Leaves: YG11, G24

And I paired up this beauty with the Star of Bethlehem paper from Hobby Lobby. I just love the rich blues in these papers and I thought they would be a nice background for this pretty angel. I trimmed two pieces of white card stock measuring 5-1/2 x 1/8" for the strips across the card. The black panel behind the angel measures 2-1/4 x 4-1/4". 

I trimmed the sentiment, and then I popped it up on the card with foam tape. This card turned out pretty nice if I do say so myself.

{BYSHC} Sketch Challenge 63 ~ Believe in the Magic, Santa ~ Angie Blom Digital 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 fun Christmas card featuring a cute digital stamp set from our awesome Sponsor Angie Blom Digital Designs! This month's prize is a $25CAD e-gift card to Angie Blom Digital Designs! Yippee!

I combined and resized the cute Santa and sentiment from the Believe in the Magic, Santa digital stamp set in a Word Document and printed it off onto white card stock. I colored up the Santa with Copic markers and fussy cut him on the line. I colored the edges of the fussy cutting with the edge of a black marker. This technique helps to make the fussy cutting look nice and neat.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R00, R20

Hair / Mustache / Beard / Fur Trim: C0, C2

Hat / Coat / Pants / Bow: R20, R14, R29

Mitten / Belt: N0, N2, N4

Belt Buckle: Y11, Y15, Y28

Santa's Bag: E30, E31, E33

I paired up Santa with some fun papers from my stash... the Christmas 6x6 paper pad from Carta Bella. I was drawn to the colors in this paper pack. Not your typical color scheme and I love the Kraft, black and red. It works so nicely with Santa.

The background paper measures 5-1/2 x 4-1/4". The black paper measures 2-1/2 x 4-1/4". The paper strips were cut apart strips that were in the paper pack. They measure 5-1/2 x 1/4" {approximately}. I trimmed the sentiment and adhered it to the card to finish this one off.
