Straight Stripes Stencil Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils. I used the stencil to create a bold holiday background for my penguin tag. 

For the background, I took a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils with some Candied Apple Distress ink to create a striped pattern. Once the ink was dried, I shifted the stencil slightly a half of a stripe's width to the right. To create the peppermint pattern, I used the stencil as a guide to draw in thin stripes in between the red stripes with a green Ultra Fine Sharpie marker. I loved how I was able to create my own festive patterned paper. I trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5.25" to eliminate any messy edges.

I used the larger die from the Scallop Tag Square Dies to diecut the tag out of the Neenah Solar White cardstock. I masked off the scalloped edges of the tag die and lightly inked the edges with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. 

The Woolen Mitten Die Set was used to diecut some holly leaves and berries out of green and red cardstock.

I stamped the penguin from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguins Dies to it out. I colored him with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7/9, W00/0, Y38 YR04, R00/20
Red: R22/24/27/29/39
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Holiday Greetings Dies to diecut it out.

I adhered all of the holly, sentiment and penguin to the tag with a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the elements. The striped panel was adhered to a top folding white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the tag  onto the card front with foam tape.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
