Another quick sweep of my work table this past weekend and I came up with this cool Santa that was actually on the front of a card that was given to me last year I'd been saving. I first attached it to a piece of red cardstock and then fussy cut around it. And it's popped up with some dimensionals. You can't tell from the picture, but the dark pattern on it is actually silver which is why I chose to add the white ribbon with the silver snowflakes. There is wrapping paper on this too. The kraft with the red twigs and white snow is one of my favorites from IKEA. All of this was added to a red card base.
I don't quite like how the whites match up in the picture - the lighting was just not right this morning. IRL the ribbon is not as blue-white and the Santa is not as yellow-white trust me.
Once again, I invite you to head over to the Jingle Belles blog to see all the great additions to the gallery there. You might get some good ideas. I always do!
very nice card, I also save some favourite cards from friends every year.
ReplyDeleteThere are some really nice cards with parts that I think can be reused. I just have to remember not to send those remakes to the person who sent me the original.
DeleteOh he is so cute!

Thank you. There was just something about him that saved him from the recycling bin.
