Baby, Santa’s Back!

Published by Sherry Cheever at 12:22 am under JBWW Challenges

Good morning ya’ll! Well it’s Sunday and that means it’s time for another JBWW Challenge. This week Jeanne picked the challenge, and luckily I had already stamped out an image and colored it, or I would still be working on the card. Here’s what Jeanne has to say: “Today’s JBWW challenge is to make a Black & White card with a splash of color. The color can be an embellishment or an image - pretty much whatever makes you happy. Make your card primarily Black & White though.”

Please make sure that you link your card here or on Jeanne’s blog, Inky Paws. If you upload to your gallery on Splitcoast, remember to use the keyword JBWW.

While in Texas, we went shopping at Stamp Salado with some friends. As we were browsing through the store, my basket getting slightly full, Anna tapped me and pointed at this stamp. She told me that it was calling my name and I just NEEDED to have it. Well, it found its way in my basket and here it is for all to see.

Santa’s Back

The image was stamped and then colored with Copic Markers. The squiggles are made with a black gel pen and then highlighted with a Sakura Stardust pen. (It’s hard to see in the photo and after six tries, I hung it up.) For the background, SU’s Holiday Print was stamped in Versamark and then embossed with Dazzling Diamond Dust. Can ya’ll tell that I’m lovin’ these tent topper cards? This one measures 4.25 x 4.25.

Stamps: Santa and Sentiment from Deadbeat Designs

Paper: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, SU Basic Black

Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Versamark

Accessories: Copic Markers, Dazzling Diamond Dust EP, Brads, Ribbon, Black Gel Pen, Sakura Stardust Pen, Mounting Tape

Remember you can play the challenge throughout the week. I’ll be back next week with a JBWW Special Request.

    So darn cute. My thoughts went straight to “a John Travolta Santa”. YOu are the cutest thing, Sherry! Love your fun stuff.

    Love this, Sherry! As soon as I saw this card, my mind started in on “Staying alive, staying alive….” Did you channel John Travolta for this card??

    …or maybe he’s doing a Babe Ruth thing–you know, out of the ballpark… You find the most unusual stamps! And then you use them…I wonder how many uninked stamps you have. Sometimes I’m so much better at shopping than stamping. I should learn from you…
