Love the embossing and glittery frame on this one! Another beautiful Christmas card! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on my blog!

He's a jolly looking Father Chrsitmas and those embossing folders are fabulous as well. Some Santa stamps just don't look Santa-enough, but this one is perfect!

Love how the pattern in the embossing goes with the pattern on his hat ... so very glad you joined us at jingle belles.

ooooooooh! i just ♥LOVE♥ this... it's a brilliant sketch, to begin with, and that stamp is lovely, as well... then you've taken TWO different (but beautifully coordinating) e/fs to add texture and just a little bit of stripey goodness to jazz things up ET VOILA! total holiday masterpiece!
