I have a lot of Santa stamps (okay, I have a lot of stamps in general but I DO have a lot of Santa stamps). And many of those poor Santas have yet to see ink. Today I decided to get one of them dirty. I think with tomorrow's release of new Papertrey stamps, I'm subconsciously reaching for uninked PTI stamps so I don't feel guilty about buying tomorrow. Those sneak peeks have completely won me over - there will be new PTI stamps in the house before too long.
In general terms, this card is inspired by a card I saw over at Splitcoast but that one featured a snowman rather than Santa. Santa is colored with a copic marker and his fringe is "colored" with "snow" from Plaid/Deco Art. He is pop dotted over the ribbon - I find I really like the slight dimension that pop dots give me without making the card too bulky. And i use the term pop dots loosely. I actually use foam mounting tape that I cut into however many pieces I need/want for whatever I'm adding dimension to. A large roll goes a long way and I use it a LOT.
The sentiment is from Lizzie Anne and is stamped in burgundy (Stampin' Up).
The kids are back to school today and now I need to finalize details for Meg's Halloween party this weekend. Thanks for the suggestions I have received - I appreciate the help!
Awesome Xmas card - TFS!!!
