Christmas Cheer with Pennys

The sponsor for this challenge is:

The Paper Shelter

Today I have used the For Santa digital stamp from The Paper Shelter, our generous sponsor for this challenge, to make a Christmas card.

I had an old sketch (see Mojo Monday 524) in mind for this card, so I opened the image in Silhouette Studio and started to design the panels to make a 5" x 7" card.  I created an oval 3.5" x 3.75" and sized the image to fit inside then made a 1/16" offset.  I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set, cut with the Cameo then coloured with Copic markers.  I cut the oval mat from black cardstock using the Cameo.  I cut the card front, matting panels and strips (using a good old fashioned ruler & craft knife) then assembled the card using liquid adhesive.  I finished off by adhering the completed panel to a 5" x 7" card base and adhering the cheery lime rhinestone strips.

If you click on the image you can see the detail in the tree trunk ...
