Hello, After a more careful search (someone's card reminded me of this stamp that I was pretty sure I still had!) I found it, a stamp with stockings hung by the chimney with care!Heehee! Yay! This is a really old stamp but I like it cause Santa is dressed more like a mtn man who has elk to pull his sleigh. He works all through the year making these delightful toys and then hands them out to the local orphanages and some NOT so local! There is a roaring fire behind him so I think he came through the door!
Thanks for looking!

Awesome card! I love how you colored the Santa and his toys! The addition of the Liquid Applique is perfect! Love your take on the Santa! Who would have thought of elk pulling the sleigh! Nice job!

Yep - definitely no singe marks on Santa so he definitely came through the door. This is just incredible. Its a beautiful old fashioned image of Santa and his goodies. Just like we imagined when we were kids - not like today's not so cuddly Santas. Just so beautifully coloured.

Fantastic Robin and so is that stamp! I'm always amazed at how much you are willing to color! This would have taken me days! He sure does look like the authentic Santa too!

Over-the-top fabulous, Robin. Beautiful coloring throughout....but it is the tiny brass andiron that really impresses me....looks like the real metal shining.

Holy Smokes, what detail, Robin. If I saw this image in the store, I would just keep right on going ~ it's got way too much to color for me. I can't imagine how long this took, but your end result is stunning.
