The layout I used for my card is from the current sketch at Match the Sketch, flipped around on its side. I colored up one of the elves using Copic markers, then cut him out using the matching die. It's hard to see in the photo, but I added some Glossy Accents to the light bulbs to give them a glass-like look and put a bit of white flock on the pom pom at the top of his hat. Once he was finished, I used foam tape to adhere him to a white Sugar Cuts Zig Zag Stitched Circle die cut.
I covered an easy to write on white card base with some red patterned paper, then attached a strip of shiny silver paper to the right side of the panel. The image panel was set on top along with a notched banner strip with the set's "may your Christmas be merry and bright" stamped on it. A trio of sparkly silver enamel dots arranged around the image completed the design.
Materials Used:
Merry Makers stamp set, SugarCuts Merry Makers and Zig Zag Stitched Circle dies (SugarPea Designs); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); markers (Copic); Green Galore cardstock (Stampin' Up!); silver paper (Target); Loveland-Ruby Ave. designer paper (Scenic Route); silver glitter enamel dots (Eyelet Outlet); white flock (Stampendous); Glossy Accents (Ranger); foam tape
