'Tis the Season - North Coast Creations September Release

This month North Coast Creations is releasing two Christmas stamp sets - Santa's Sleigh and Old Fashioned Santa.  Continue reading below to find out how you can win one of two North Coast Creations $10 Gift Certificates good towards the purchase of NCC Stamps.

My first card uses North Coast Creations Old Fashioned Santa along with custom dies from NCC's parent comany, Our Daily Bread Designs.

The Santa image is Black Embossed on Watercolor Paper, then die cut with Spellbinders Oval Dies, colored with STAEDTLER Mars Graphic Markers, and layered on a Black Oval.  I added Rangers Fine Glitter to the White areas of the image, and sponged the edges of the Oval with Ranger Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. To embellish, I die cut the branch from Our Daily Bread Designs Custom Fancy Foliage Die , from Olive card stock, and added some Fine Glitter to the branch.  The sentiment is from the NCC's Old Fashioned Santa, I used the omitting technique to only use a portion of the sentiment, Black embossing it on Watercolor paper, then die cutting with Our Daily Bread Designs Custom Recipe Card and Tags Die, trimming the panel so that it could be layered on the Black full sized Tag.
