Confused Santa

I think Santa is looking a little confused! Fab pre coloured digi image by Lee Jacobs and bought from here - all I've done is resized it and cut it out (plus added some glitter!)

The papers are offcuts and are from Echo Park - All I Want For Christmas digi pack. The red ribbon is from my stash and the tiny brads are fake - black Sharpie marker with glossy accents over the top! I had to join two pieces of the backing paper together as I only had strips left that were not wide enough - I think I've done it well enough so you can't see the join!

A bit of inking around the edges plus some faux stitching and the card is complete!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Seems A Little Sketchy: Sketch followed
Paper Makeup Stamps: Colour Combo
Karens Doodles: Spots and Stripes
My Time Made Easy: Colour Palette
Crazy 4 Challenges: It's Santa!

  • Image: Lee Jacobs, bought from here
  • Papers: Echo Park digi pack - All I Want For Christmas
  • Everything else: My stash

  5. Well, that's a different look for Santa! {lol} Love the papers you've chosen and layered and how your cut-out image pops against the background. Thanks for joining the Digi Makeover Challenge at Paper Makeup Stamps. :)

  6. What a cute image, and if you hadn't said anything I never would have known that you pieced together paper that wasn't big enough! Also very impressed by your fussy cutting - I just don't seem to have the patience for it...LOL. Great job with the sketch. Thanks for playing along at Seems A Little Sketchy. Hope to see you back again right after Christmas for sketch #3!
