Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards

Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards

Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com.  I am happy to be back on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing some cards that feature products from the beautiful new Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Collection. Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards, BD-0887, HUR86697 My first project showcases the new Sketched Santas Stamp Set.  To start, I stamped my images onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.   I then used Copic Markers to color them and the coordinating die set to cut them out. Copic Colors Used:
  • Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89
  • Black: W7, W9
  • White: 0, C00, C1, C3
  • Blues: B02, BG34, B36

Copic Colors Used:
  • Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89
  • Greens: G40, G43, G46, G99
  • White: 0, C00, C1, C3
  • Browns: E31, E23, E25, E29

Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards, BD-0888, HUR86703 My final card features some adorable snowmen from the new Sketched Snowman Clear Stamp Set.  After stamping my images, I once again colored them with Copic Markers and used the coordinating Sketched Snowman Die Set to cut them out. Copic Colors Used:
  • Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89
  • Teals: G00, G000, BG34, BG49
  • White: 0, C00, C1, C3
Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards, BD-0888, HUR86703 I once again added some ink blending to my background with a mix of Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks.  I added some light spatters to my background as I had done in the first card and then stamped my sentiment with black ink once the spatters were dry.  Lastly, I adhered my images with 3D foam adhesive tape for more dimension. Simon Hurley Sketched Christmas Cards I hope you enjoyed my cards today and check out this beautiful collection!  Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. 🩷 Rachel [spellbinders-supplies]PE-104,BD-0887,BD-0888,BD-0889,HUR86680,HUR86703,HUR86697,S5-635,CS-015,CS-016,CS-017,CS-027,CS-036,PCG04E[/spellbinders-supplies]
