Welcome!
Today's card is going into the Paper Players #713 sketch challenge and also NBUS#68
Here is the sketch:
Below is the card that I made for these challenges.
My very first Christmas card of the season. I'd best get busy on my stash!
For this card I used a set of stamps that I bought last year after I had completed all my Christmas cards so this is it's first time being inked up.
Card Base: Real Red, Other colors used: Basic White and Mint Melody (retired) Designer Paper from SU from a couple of years ago.
Stamp set: Simon Hurley - Silly Santas and matching dies.
Inks: Real Red, Memento Tuxedo Black
Other: Swiss Dot Embossing Folder, Circle dies, foam tape, sequins
Getting this in under the wire so if you have questions about it feel free to email me.

ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIda, this is just wonderful! I like that bold Santa stepping out of the card. I like the plaid pattern offset with a subtle bit of embossing. Great colours. Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteIda, I love your jolly Santa - and this sketch suits him perfectly. I love the DSP you used, too. This card just made me smile! So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week.

What a great card this is. I need to get busy and get started on my Christmas cards or I'll be buying them at the store. I hate doing that.
ReplyDeleteOh, Ida...what an absolutely adorable holiday card! This Santa has a retro vibe that reminds me of the Santas of my childhood. I LOVE your card! Thank you for playing in my sketch challenge at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteNice! And your layout is pretty great too! Love all the visual texture
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyous vintage design, Ida! I love this classic Santa and your use of red and green and white - and plaid! Thank you for the Christmas inspiration and for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
