It's time for a new challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' and the theme for this month is 'Father Christmas'. I used a Flourishes stamp called Santa I Believe which I've had for a long, long time and it's one of my go-to images for Santa. To be honest with you, I could not find it with a Google search so I'm not sure the company is even in business anymore.
This has to be one of the quickest cards I've ever made. I had forgotten the challenge was due so it was rush, rush ad for a change, everything fell into place and there wasn't a 'do-over' of anything. I added some tints of colour with Copics, some gold embossing and that's it. I don't know why the reds on this card seem so bright and stand out like they do... as I look at it, it seems to be a duller, more vintage red but I guess we all perk up a bit under good light, huh?
This month, we are sponsored by Flat Friends who is generously giving a prize of two digis to the lucky winner.
Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog to see what the rest of the gals on the team have created and here's a great chance to get a head start on your holiday cards for this year. The only requirement to enter the challenge is to follow the theme.
Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies:
Stamp & Sentiment - Flourishes Father Christmas

Simply lovely! What a gorgeous Santa stamp, he has such a lovely face. You were so right to keep it simple with just the poinsettia as your embellishment. Debra x
