Santa is Stuck!

Hi everyone.  This is one of my new-to-me Stamping Bella stamps.  I thought this was so cute and I had a lot of fun watercolouring the image.  I fussy-cut and then popped it up over a background of sparkle embossing paste snowflakes.  Two stitched snow hills were adhered at the bottom (another NBUS).  The sentiment is stamped in red so it stands out. :)

Close-up ...
Another card that had me smiling the whole time I was working on it! :)

    Beautiful watercoloring particularly on his beard and fur on his boot giving it such soft, fuzzy dimension. I love the shading of the brick and you finished this too cute guy off perfectly!

    Fabulous stamp. I know a song about Santa being stuck and now it's stuck in my head so I'm going to write the lyrics and it might get stuck in yours too :)
    When Santa got stuck in the chimney
    He began to shout,
    You girls & boys wont get any toys if you don't get me out.
    There's soot in my sack, my beard is black, my nose is tickly too.
    When Santa got stuck up the chimney, atchoo, atchoo,atchoo.

    Sorry...not sorry

    Love your card by the way .Lynne x

    Such a fun card, Loll! I love the colours against the white snowy background. I’m still trying to decide if Santa’s sentiment is sarcastic. :) Thank you so much for sharing your lovely holiday creation with the Rudolph Days Challenge!

    Had a good chuckle at this image, Loll!
    If I had to scamper down a chimney, I would have the same problems...
    I like the snowflake paste idea and think this is a great card.

    Thanks for taking part in the July Rudolph Days Challenge.

    I'm smiling now, too, 'cause I'm so happy to see this darling card! Santa is adorable and your painting and CAS design is outstanding. I love it so much! We've been away camping again. I miss card making and visiting, but camping at our favorite park in our motorhome is soooooo relaxing!
