Here is my card for today's sketch challenge... a little late, but better than never...
I stamped Santa on very vanilla using Vintage Sepia. Water colour his face with blush blossom and eyes with bashful blue. Rubbed on metallic red to his cheeks. Colour glass frames with gold pencil crayon. Sponged edges. Matted with red dp and chocolate chip. Sewed edges. I crumpled the caramel Santa dp to distress it, sponged chocolate chip over top. Matted with red and brown - sewed edges. Matted Holly dp and sewed edges. All edges were distressed and inked. Attached ribbon and bell. Assembled card...

This is wonderful, Patricia! Just got that Santa and used him for the first time. I love the way you colored him and paired him w/ these vintage looking dps.

Sew beautiful! I bought this stamp for Bubba this year, and will have to show him what magic you have done with it! (think he will sew? Lol!) Beautiful DP and distressing Pat. I love your work- it makes me smile! Hugs.
