Hello and welcome back! This is my 2nd card today as I am finishing up my Christmas cards so I can get them out in the mail!
I used MFT's "Jingle All the Way" stamp set which has become one of my fav stamp sets for Christmas cards! I just love the cute Santa poses in it!
I stamped the Santa and watercolored him with Zigs, water and a paint brush, then cut him out. On my card base I used Winnie and Walter's "Big Bang Peppermint Zone" stencil with Distress Oxide ink. Then I stamped the sentiment from the same set. I popped Santa up on foam tape, added Nuvo Glitter drops into the swirls, then rounded 2 of the corners to finish the card.
In this picture you can see the glitter drops better and the glitter on the white parts of his hat:
I had so much fun making this card and can't wait to send it out!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great Saturday!
