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,
