I stamped and colored the image and was really pleased with it until I messed up the background. I scanned it into Photoshop, removed the background and created a much more pleasing bg. It was printed onto heavy cs and die cut. I very lightly sponged the edges with Distress Gathered Twigs.
I faced the card base with patterned paper, added a strip of corrugated cs and attached the image. There is a layer of craft foam behind the top and bottom of the image for dimension. The sentiment is a sticker from Hot Off The Press.
As always, thanks for looking!

Beautiful coloring on this and how much of it you had to do! Love the vintage looking background around your Santa! The corrugated strip is the perfect touch for this!

Beautiful old-fashioned type of Christmas card with that wonderful image of Father Christmas(like the one in Dicken's "Christmas Carol"), Jody. Lovely rich colors to carry out the theme.
