TMS #479 - Merry Christmas






Hello Hello! 

Welcome to another Tuesday Morning Sketch!  Our sketch this week from Melissa features a fun diamond shape! I had so much fun with this sketch - even though it was challenging at first due to the shape of the main image. I ended up flipping the sketch as well. I do not have any diamond shaped dies - so my scan-n-cut 2 came in handy with the set of pre-loaded shapes it comes with. 

Stamps: Christmas Magic (GKD) and Christmas Greenery (GKD) 
Paper: White (GKD), Red Velvet (GKD), Kraft (GKD), White Polkadot Paper (from scrap stash) 
Ink: Cherry Red (GKD)  - Tip - I didn't know beforehand if the sentiment would show up well enough on the patterned paper so I stamped it on a smaller scrap first. 
Accessories: bling (Paper Studio), Stampin Blend Markers, pop-dots, Lawn fawn Stitched Border Die. 


Be sure to check out the inspiration for this sketch from the rest of the fabulous design team - their blog links are to the right of this post. 

Thanks for stopping by - Hugs  ~ LJ

Your card is super cute! Turning the sketch fit your Santa image perfectly and I love the polka dot background.

Wonderful card. I always love it when one of the DT uses the sketch in a different way. Your vertical design shows the versatility of the sketch, and the little Santa fits perfectly in the diamond shape. You knocked this one right on the head!

I love that you flipped the sketch and created an adorable scene. The little snowhill is great with the bit of stitching. I have that paper and it's great!!
