Christmas Card - Stampin' Up! "Santa's List" 5

Stampin' Up! have excelled with the release of "Santa's List" a wonderfully versatile image of Santa with two greetings.  Santa is stamped on Very Vanilla, matted with Early Expresso and then mounted on a bed of Cherry Cobbler, embossed with Poetry Print and Very Vanilla embossed with Perfect Polka Dots.  The two cards display the same layout but are embellished and finished very differently.

I coloured Santa very lightly with Real Red marker and he felt so Jolly that it seemed only appropriate I finish him off with the greeting from "No Peeking"...

I chose not to colour Santa this time and let the stamp's detail speak for itself...

Greeting Very Merry is from "Very Merry Tags" WM 130393 / CM 130402 and the Christmas is from the set "A Banner Christmas" WM130252 / CM 130255.  Both are punched out and raised on a Dimensional...I used twine to add a little interest to the presentation of the greeting...

So for now Santa is going to bed, but if you want to use him next Christmas, be sure to let me know before the end of the month of January 2014, as the catalogue he features in comes to an end.

Happy crafting
Love
