I am SO happy to see my friend Anne Ryan back on SCS! To welcome her back, I cased this Be Merry card. I kept the same layout, using a different stamp, an ef, different greenery & bow. After coloring with the gamsol techniqe only using baby oil, I fussy cut Santa. Santa's belt buckle is silver Wink of Stella, & the fur on his suit is clear WoS. I cut the circle, embossed using the ef open & arranged the ferns & bow. Now I have 6 Christmas cards done for Jan!! Woo-hoo!!
This is also for Jeanne's F4A challenge - tiny art. This Santa is just 2-1/2" tall, so he is my tiny art.
Thanks for stopping by.

You and me both, Karen! Love the CASE of Anne's card...and it's a cutie of yours now! Wonderful Santa image and I like how he is placed over the circular opening. The gingham bow and bit of greenery is all that is needed as an accent.

OMGosh, I am humbled Karen. Thank you for the shout out. Your 4.25 sq card is adorable. I never thought about an EF. I can't believe you could get all this sweetness in one little card. Had to fave this one. I need to try the embossing. You are too sweet, Karen. Thank you.
