Hello friends. I'm so glad you stopped by.
It's been a rainy weekend in North Carolina. I'm not complaining because we
need the rain and it was a good excuse to stay inside and craft.
Show us Your Santas!
He's one of my favorites and hadn't been used this year.
He's been stamped with Versafine ink and colored with
colored pencils. Sorry, I didn't note the colors this time.
I found a couple of sparkly snowflakes to pop over the snowflakes
in the stamped design and added some Crystal Glaze to his spectacles.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Always love this image, Bonnie! Your 'just a touch of colour' approach is just perfect. What a beauty. Thanks for playing again at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI've been having a browse through your posts Bonnie and as usual, I'm absolutely blown away by your creativity. Forgive me for not commenting on each one (I have a lot of catching up to do!) but your bell and berries card and the twofer Christmas greenery cards are wonderful - such amazing bursts of colour. I love this santa too with his touches of colour and the crystal glaze spectacles being the icing on the cake! Vicky x

ReplyDeleteGreat Santa card, Bonnie - love the black and white with just a bit of colour on Santa's face. It would make a great masculine Christmas card.
