Moonlit Snowy Night

Howdy sketch lovers!  It’s my turn to share the sketch for Splitcoaststampers this week and I made it a relatively easy one for everyone this week.

Here it is, SC524…
And here is the card I created for it.  I rotated the sketch for my card design this week.  It features the stamp set “O Holy Night” by Power Poppy as it’s focal image.  I actually added a whole series of additional trees that the image doesn't have. I just masked them off and stamped them!

This card has a secret though… it has a hidden closure on it… look and see what I mean.  First you pull apart the white circle greeting from the blue circle greeting (they are magnetized!) and behind the vellum band closure is the secret opening…

Cute right?!?!  I thought so!

I also created this card with Merry Monday Christmas challenge in mind this week… “houses”!  I figured a church was a kind of house right... house of the Lord :)

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my secret!  Hope you’ll play along with my sketch this week.

Oh this is just beautiful! The extra trees look like they're part of the stamp so great job with the masking and the blue ink is a perfect color for this image. Thanks so much for joining us at Merry Monday.
