What a miserable dark wet day it is here today but I've enjoyed a bit of crafting. watched some footie so I'm enjoying the day. I hope you are too.
My card today is one of a batch of similar cards I made for last year using snippets of paper and a Santa stamp I've loved for years.
I gave the image just a bit of colour using chalks then inked round the outside of the image and onto the embossed piece at the back with Antique Linen distress ink. I added a little glitter on the snowflakes and round the edge of the image.
The sentiments are from a Paula Pascal set and the red dewdrops are from Papermania. The stamp is from a clear Habico set.
I would like to enter my card into the Merry Monday Challenge #190

I love that image of Santa! He looks like a doting grandpa with a lot of love in his heart. And I really think you did a great off-set design and coloring to make him look his best, Barb!! I hope you have better weather soon!! Hugs, Darnell

Gorgeous card Barb, I love this stamp. I have it on a wooden block and it hasn't been used in a while. It will never date, so maybe I'll take it out and dust it off!
