Virginia's Santa Claus for Merry Monday

It's Merry Monday time again.

Edited to add to Rudolph Days.
Thanks for the reminder, Maureen.

This week it's my friend Karren's turn to choose.

I was a little unsure about what to do for this challenge.

I don't have any newsprint stamps or paper.

Didn't even have a newspaper.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus popped into my head.

So I found it on the good ole Internet and printed it out.

The lovely Santa was in my UFO box.  The stamp belongs to a friend.

I colored him up with Copics and added a little distressing

 so he'd match the aged newspaper.

I die cut a bit of holly, sponged the teeny, tiny edges and popped it over

the stamped holly on his hat.

A bit of icy sparkle finished off his hat and beard.

Whew!

Another challenge conquered!

(I think my eyesight is failing.

All looked good until I saw the photo.

I had forgotten to color one side of Santa's nose.

It looked like he had a big zit!

I think I got the right marker to fix him up.

He's a little red faced from all that exertion.)

Since I used some snippets, I'm off to visit at

Pixie's Snippet Playground

I've been missing the visits with the playmates there.

Thanks for the visit.

Enjoy!
