I thought I would be tired of making Christmas cards by now but I got a couple of really cute Christmas stamps for Christmas, including this Jolly Santa from Stampendous. In addition, there is a new challenge out there, One Layer Christmas Card Challenge, so I thought I would give it a go.
In addition, the inspiration at Curtain Call this week is gorgeous; I am a fan of neutrals these days.
Over at Shopping Our Stash and at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, the challenge is to use something new (the stamp), and over at Darnell's NBUS Challenge #3, it is Anything Goes.
CAS on Sunday has a Christmas Challenge.
There are a lot of Santa images out there, but this has to be my favorite. I think there is some nostalgia in my liking this image as it reminds me of childhood. I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils, added some stickles to the berries and scored around the edge for a border. I kept everything neutral except for the hat- I really like it with the pop of color.
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed week!
Lee Ann :)

ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you about this Santa image, Lee Ann, it is outstanding with its vintage quality. You really brought that out by stamping it on kraft, doing such brilliant coloring, and scoring around it! Excellent, especially with the added bonus that it is a OLC!!
