Peggy gave us some great colors this week; gumball green, basic grey and real red. Since I am way behind in Christmas cards I chose to go in that direction.
The Santa is from My Sentiments Exactly and after stamping and coloring him with Copics he was cut out and popped up on the bench made with a wood grain stamp. His grey beard looked a bit on the dirty side so I squiggled in some white gel pen to lighten it up.
The snowflake (for desert) is chipboard embossed with Stampendous Fran-tage embossing powder.
Thanks for taking a look !

Becky, your coloring is ALWAYS exceptional which makes your card a stand-out in any gallery. Love this sitting old-fashioned Santa and the leafy wreath behind him. Your composition is terrific.

What a fab Santa he is! I love the gray bench, and those curvy fronds of green in the bg are wonderful!
