Dasher

Sorry about the picture quality. I haven't been able to get the lighting quite right lately. Today's card is for Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge. It is a simple card sketch, but I just couldn't get what I really wanted. This is what I have settled for.

• I started out with a standard 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Basic Black card base.
• On a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 Basic Black square I stamped Dasher with my new Frost White Shimmer Paint. I then cut him in half both ways. Each 1 1/4 square is mounted on a 1 1/2 square of Ruby Red Holiday Lounge DSP. These four squares are then mounted on to a 3 1/2 square of Whisper White and then adhered to the card base.
• For the sentiment, I again used my new Frost White Shimmer Paint and the "Merry Christmas" stamp from Holiday Best on Basic Black. This was punched out with the scallop circle punch. I punched another scallop circle from the same Ruby Red Holiday Lounge DSP and layered the two circles together.
• The ribbon is the Whisper White Organza ribbon. I simply tied a small knot and adhered it to the inside of the card and to the back of the scallop circle layer.
• Done!

I haven't used a Basic Black card base in a while so I hope you enjoy this one. Stop by Pals Paper Arts to try the challenge or just see what the other stampers have come up with. You might get some inspiration. Thanks for visiting.

Dasher in Real Red

Mojo monday is a little late for me this week. I ordered the Dasher stamp and the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper and it just came today. I LOVE this paper and I just had to use it. I don't have time to list the entire recipe but here are a few basics. I used Real Red everything; grossgrain ribbon, classic ink, card stock and specialty paper. My background paper is Whisper White. I used the scallop circle punch and one silver brad. All products are from Stampin' Up!.

Hope you like today's card. Thanks for visiting.
