Christmas Tidings

WT183Christmas Tidings_SaK

My card today is a multi challenge card for today's Ways to use it challenge on splitcoast/White Gel Pens, and the Innovative Stamp Creations challenge which is a sketch that can be found here. We would love for you to play along and upload your ISC creations to your blog or on line gallery and leave a comment on the ISC blog with your link. A random drawing will be held on Sunday 9/21 and the winner will receive 2 free Innovative Stamp Creations stamp sheets of their choice! Be sure to use the Key Word ISCC12 with your upload to an online gallery.

I used an Inkssentials White Gel pen to highlight the stamped flourishes and words as well as outlining the 4 narrow panels. The main panel is on dimensional foam tape. The red panels were made by running core'dinations CS through the cuttlebug with the textile folder and sanding. The other 2 panels and the sentiment layers are a sheet of art paper from a Somerset Studio magazine. All images are from ISC Christmas sheets and the brads are flocked.
