Merry Monday #146


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Sue challenges us to use Santa on our Christmas card.

I just recently got this Santa stamp set from My Favorite Things.  It sold out fast.  The images are just adorable.  I colored with my Copics (still learning).  Added stickles to his hat and the snow hill he is standing on.  Did some sponging on my card base and placed the Cover up: Christmas die cut over top.  Added a bit of red and white twine and that finishes off my card.   

Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog.

I am adding this to the Monthly Meet Up challenge at Lil' Inker Designs.

    Love your card Kristie. The background is so pretty, along with that cute Santa. I just got that stamp set also, but haven't used it yet, maybe this week I will. :)

    Wonderful card, Kristie! The die cut background really gives this Santa some pizzazz! I love this illustration by Torico and used it for our grandson's Christmas card. Hmm... maybe I ought to play in the challenge tomorrow (she smiles). Thank you so much for following my Instagram page - appreciate it.
