Christmas Card Club Challenge #17 - Santa Claus is coming to Town

Hi Crafters,
 
Again I'm posting my CCC card a day early as I have another DT card for tomorrow, hope that's ok ladies?
 
Carol is our hostess this time and she has chosen 'Santa Claus is coming to Town'.
 
Recipe
Topper - Hobby House - Jolly Christmas
Papers - Dovecraft - 'Back To Basics Christmas'
Kraft Card
Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circle and Classic Scalloped Ovals
Sentiment - Tonic Studios 'Tis The Season' Die Set
Velvet Ribbon
Gathered Twigs Distress Ink
Glamour Dust
 
 
As you can see I went for an easel card, it was rather a large topper measuring 12 cm across so putting it on an easel card gave me the extra space I needed on the bottom layer for the beautiful sentiment die. I inked through the die with DI and Versamark clear ink and heat embossed it with a glitter EP.
Here's a quick view of the inside and space to write your message.

It's going to be a scorcher here today according to the weather man - it's already 24 degrees. We've been out this morning before it got too hot and so now I'm keeping cool in my craft room.
 
See you soon,
 
Lorraine
