Christmas Card Club Challenge #22 - Santa's Little Helpers

 Hi Crafters,

It's Sunday morning and another Christmas Card Club challenge.

This week we've been given the theme of SANTA'S LITTLE HELPERS by Margaret.

I thought these cute penguins looked like they were helping by holding up this Christmas banner. I've coloured them with my trusty Promarkers and the papers are from an older Dovecrafts paper pad.


Then I thought about Santa's reindeer who help him quite a lot too. He wouldn't be able to get round delivering all the gifts without them, so I made a card depicting just that.


The stamped border scene is from Studio Light which I have heat embossed with white embossing powder. Inked the background with Distress Inks and used Britannia Dies and Duo Dies for Santa's Flight and the sentiment.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Thank you for visiting today, please take a look at the other Christmas creations from the rest of the design team, the links to their blogs are here.

See you again soon,

Lorraine
