Jingle Belles SPARKS

I definitely got to some challenges this morning - all of them for Christmas challenges that are out & about this week. Christmas in July it is! The current jingle belles challenge is to use cardstock only, and as I dug out my new Paper Smooches "Swanky Snowdudes" I realized their sketch this week was perfect!
(And where did I get my new PS set? From Barb, of course - and she has more!) 

Supplies: Paper Smooches "Swanky Snowdudes;" Salty Ocean Distress ink; Memento Gray Flannel ink; Sakura Stardust glitter pen; Picket Fence distress stickles

I stamped Mr. Dude twice, cutting out his head & scarf to pop up on foam tape for some dimension. I used the Ranger foam ink thingy to ink the torn "snow" edge, as well as the edges of the panel. The snowflakes are stamped onto scrap paper, and the 2nd and 3rd impressions onto the background. (Full disclosure - the back of this panel has the full-strength WAY TOO MUCH stamping I tried first, lol). The centre of each snowflake is dotted with the Stardust pen, and then I used Stickles on the snowman and here & there on the sky for even more sparkle.

Here's the PS SPARKS sketch:

You can play along at SPARKS until Sunday, and at jingle belles until Wednesday July 17. 

I'll be right back with - ANOTHER Christmas card.
