Seriously, isn't he cute???? I wasn't so sure when I saw him in the mini catalogue but he started to grow on my and now, well....he's just so cute! This card wouldn't be one that I'd want to make a million of as I did paper piece his outfit and hat which took some time to cut out. His beard and hat are also done with the 2 way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds to add a bit of bling to our lovely little Santa!
Stamps: Naughty or Nice, Simple Serif Mini Alphabet (for the word MERRY), Many Merry Messages (for teh word Christmas)
Colours: Old Olive, Basic Black, Real Red
Other: Star Punch, 5/8 Red Grosgrain, Black Brads, Dazzling Diamonds and 2 way glue
When I stamped the word Christmas on the picture, I just pushed really hard and made sure that it would show up on both "levels" of paper since the red is a bit higher as it's glued on. The R wasn't perfect so I used my Basic Black marker to touch it up! Hope you had a great weekend!
*Carrie, the paper from the Merry and Bright class is called Dashing*
I love the card, the beard is awesome!
