Cathy is our hostess for the WTUI challenge this week - you can find her challenge HERE.
For this card I used Christmas is Here (thank you, Julia) stamped on kraft, coloured with Couleur d'Art pencils, silver dots on his coat, Stickles on the tree. I masked him and stencilled the stars with Delicata gold but they didn"t show enough so I dusted some Perfect Pearls on. I used some old vintage look paper for the background (two designs, one cut with a lace border but it doesn't really show) and stitched with wonky stitching. I used magazine freebie dies to create the foliage swags, and added a sentiment tag from LOTV.

Kind of looks like my Santa from yesterday. I like the Coca Cola Santa, but prefer this style. Especially the long robe. I guess those kind don't go down the chimney, that would be a tangled mess. Very festive!

Wonderful old-fashioned Santa image which you have colored so beautifully, Sabrina. I also like the added accents of the die cut holly and tiny print DP. A keepsake Christmas card.

Pretty vintage Santa I must admit I don't like the blue coat but have seen some in North Europe I prefer the more traditional red one, and I love the stitched border the pretty background and the greenery!!

I love the gold contrasting with the kraft as well. This has been one of my favorite colors for this season.
