#295 - Craft Roulette Challenge - Santa Faces by Simon Says Stamp

 

Hello!  Happy Sunday!  Today I have a card for the current Craft Roulette Challenge - #295.  I was excited to come across my Simon Says Stamp Santa Faces Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies while I was looking for goodies to hit the parameters..  I have been wanting to play with this set for awhile, so this afternoon was the perfect time.

This weeks parameters are:

• Project: Map Fold Card
• Colors: Planter
• Element: From The Sky
• Random: Three In A Row

This was the first time I have colored an embossed piece of cardstock with Copic markers and I have to say it was a little bit tricky.  The embossing folder breaks down the fibers in the cardstock, so the ink really absorb easily so it is hard to control the bleed.  I definitely stayed up on the tip of my marker.

The Copic colors that I used for this project are:

• E0000, E000, E00, E01, R20, R32
• C00, C0, C1
• R24, R29, R39

For the sentiment, I used the new Christmas Cheer Words die from Hello Bluebird.  The patterned paper, which is really hard to see, but it beautiful is called Whispers of Winter by Crafty Stamp Co.

One of the things that I love about participating in the weekly Craft Roulette Challenge is that it really make me shop my stash and use the things that I may not have used yet.  

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are having a lovely holiday season.
