He's everywhere this time of year. :)
Here he is with a little wrapped gift for someone special. Don't you just love the multi-coloured polka-dot background. I think it's adorable and perfect with this Santa.
Had so much fun making the above card, I made a second one. :) This is yet another Santa, and he's jumping for joy! :)
Received these adorable stamped and die-cut images from my dear friend Bonnie. Just did a quick watercolour with distress inks and zigs. Then added a bit of blush to his cheeks with red chalk and crystal glaze with diamond dust glitter on top for the brim and pompom.
Still a few days to play along with the challenge before it closes at midnight on Nov. 24th. Hope to see you in the gallery!
