I've gone for quite a clean, graphic look. I used the colours from this week's Just Add Ink - JAI181 challenge. I turned the sketch to make a portrait style and I've just realised that I attached the ribbon on the wrong side - hey ho!! I cut chevrons in black and silver and layered them together, using the silver/black ribbon on the front and the black/silver ribbon on the inside. I used my favourite Santa stamp for the main image and used an oval die to cut out the face and layered it onto some linen textured foil card. I added just a touch of colour to the image by colouring the spectacle frames and iris in Bermuda Bay; I coloured the gems to match. For the inside I stamped the Santa image (using the second impression) and a bold sentiment in Bermuda Bay.
I took a close up photo of the Santa image to really show the colour - it really pops!!
Don't forget to check out the inspiration cards from the rest of the Design Team. Can't wait to see what you make with this sketch. See you soon.

What a great card, Deborah. I particularly like how you've stamped the sentiment over the Santa image - it looks fabulous! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week. :)
Like how you've managed very modern elements paired with an old-fashioned santa image. Thanks for joining us at JAI this week. x
Gorgeous card Deb! Love his Bermuda Bay spectacles and the over stamping of the sentiment...Very clean & classy! Thanks for joining in at Just Add Ink this week.
Hi Deborah, so many of my fave things on this card - that gorgeous Santa image, neutrals with a pop of bold colour and the layered stamping of the sentiment over the Santa image inside! What a wonderful card - and the hint of colour on the eyes and glasses is amazing! Ruth x
I like your clean and simple approach to this sketch. The little pops of turquoise on the image and with the bling are terrific.
I love that Santa face and the way you colored his glasses - so creative and cool. Great zigzag border too Deb.
He's a handsome chap - love your Santa, great take on the sketch too - Jacqueline xx
