Hello Stampers!! I made this card for the Paper Players Challenge: Ho! Ho! Ho! feature a Santa on your project. To make this card I started with a Kraft top folding card base. Then I cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler and die cut it with the Twirling Flurries cover plate. After I did this I noticed that there were some small circles cut out, so I put a piece of white cardstock behind the Cherry Cobbler. For the focal image I stamped my Santa and die cut it with the double stitched rectangle. Then I used a stitched snowflake and partial die cut these in opposite corners. Next I colored in my Santa with Prisma Colored pencils and blended it with Gamsol, and die cut a rectangle from Kraft paper to frame it. Adding my ribbon treatment was next. I added the gingham around the card, and added a linen thread double bow. To complete the card I adhered the Santa with dimensionals to the Cherry Cobbler panel, and then the Cherry Cobbler panel to the card base.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
