A Very Merry Christmas - Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #660

Here is my Design Team card for Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #660.  When this sketch came up I already knew my favorite snowflake die would be used. First, a cross-stitched border die was placed diagonally from top corner to the opposite bottom corner and cut to use as the division of the four panels. Then the snowflake die was cut on the same white cardstock in the center, bordered with Capri blue cardstock and then adhered to card base.  

A friend of mine gave me this penguin stamp and it got buried in my stash. I was working on my inventory and came across this stamp and put it aside for one of my next Christmas cards... it was a nice fit for this sketch and hid the center messy cut from the die cuts. Hecter's presents and hat were colored using Copic sketch brushes using a match of the blues, fussy-cut and adhered with 3D thin foam tape over the snowflake. 

I was not happy with a plain white background... so decided to randomly stamp snowflakes using the second generation stamping technique. This made me happy and it reflected the faded pattern as in the sketch.   

A small sentiment was stamped with Black Memento Ink and some Bitty Sparkles placed around the snowflake.
