A Sketch for Inspiration!

Hi all! The Flourishes gals have a special treat today! We teamed up with Page Maps to give you some fun inspiration in the form of.... nearly a dozen sketches! Each quarter Becky Fleck with PageMaps releases 10 new sketches to spark some creativity in your craft spaces and today, those sketches are being put onto paper with the help of Flourishes! 

Want to take a peek at my sketch?


And.. here's my take on this sketch!


I used the stamp set Joy Is In the Air and just used the Santa Image. I colored him up using Copic Markers. The sentiment is from the Sentimental Christmas Set. I used the snowflakes from the Warm Winter Wishes set and then punched out Santa and the flakes using a 1-1/4" and 1-3/4" circle punch. I sponged some Summer Sky Memento ink around all of the circles and the rest is just matting it all up! I picked up the Echo Park This and That Christmas Paper pack. Added a button with some red and white baker's twine and.... ta da! Finished! 

Here's a close up of Santa! You can see I did add some sparkle thanks to some glitter glue!

This is so cute and Christmas-y. I love the punched out images and the button to give it the country homey touch.
