This is one of the cards that I have made for Christmas this year. My husband, his dad, my dad, his sister and brother-in-law, and many of our friends have Harley Davidson motorcycles, so I had to get this to make some cards for our fellow bikers! I used red paper from club scrap for the main panel mat and for the santa image mat. The main panel is wild wasabi cs. I stamped a star background from Background basics around the edges in silver pigment ink from Rubber Stampede. I used the ticket corner punch in each corner and put a silver brad in each corner. The sentiment is stamped in real red and the tag was punched out with a making memories tag punch. The sentiment is in a silver making memories tag frame. I used the making memories instant setter kit to put a silver eyelet at the end of the tag. I tied a piece of red grosgrain ribbon from Club Scrap through the eyelet. The santa image is stamped in basic black and is watercolored with the Aqua Painter. I used cranberry crisp, bashful blue, close to cocoa, basic black, and going gray inks for the watercoloring. I also used several Le Plume markers to color in smaller details. The trim on santa's suit and his beard and mustache are colored in with a Versapen and embossed w/ iridescent ice ep. The exhaust swirl was stamped with the Versamark pad and embossed with silver ep. This was a fun card to make, although the coloring took quite awhile! Thanks for looking, let me know what you think!

Love this card. I have this set as my dh and I both ride Harleys. I couldn't get Santa's goggles to look right. Yours look great! TFS! Into favorites for sure.
