Hi Crafters,
It's time for our friendly Christmas Card Club challenge and this week it was my turn to choose the theme. I went with the big man himself 'Santa' and here's what I came up with...
Recipe
DL card blank (this is unusual for me)
Vintage Santa Digi - Sherri Baldy
Pro/flexmarkers
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Go Kreate large oval die
Tumbled Glass Distress Ink
Glitter embossing powder
Sentiment - Magazine Freebie
I inked and glitter embossed around the edges of the card and the oval aperture and it looks fine IRL but here in the photo it looks grubby :(

Christmas Cards All Year Round - Red & White
Please take a look at the other ladies blogs in the team (list in page tab at the top) they have some inspirational cards for you to help get YOU started on those Christmas cards early this year. It makes all the difference to have a stack of cards ready come the festive season and helps to take a bit of the pressure off that is so acute at that time of year.
Hope you enjoyed my little Santa creation, I will be round to visit you all later today.
Hugs,
Lorraine
