Now onto the fun stuff :) Stamp Fairy is our sponsor this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches, and I chose this adorable tangled Santa to work with! Check it out:
Supplies: Santa image from Stamp Fairy; patterned paper scraps; Bic & Spectrum Noir markers; Stampendous Fun Flock; Liquid Applique; Mod Podge Dimensional Magic; Tumbled Glass distress ink; classic small & lacy circles; crochet mat
When using so many different textured products, it's really important to consider how they will interact - Dimensional Magic does NOT like to be heated (it cracks). And Fun Flock will stick to anything wet. So after colouring this adorable little Santa, I added the Liquid Applique snow, let it dry, and heated it. Then I added the DM to the lightbulbs, and let it dry overnight. Finally, I added the Fun Flock to his hat & jacket cuffs.
Here's the fabulous sketch (I love how it looks like a present!)
This sketch is open until next Sunday, December 8th - be sure to hop around & see what the rest of the team created!
xoxo,
Jessi

What a process to complete the card but the results are worth it! Thanks for the tip on the different mediums. I just got a new bottle of DM so I'm excited to start using that again. Your bulbs look so real with the use of the DM. Fabulous card and I love that you used one of your mats, too.
