And they all go just perfectly with some of the patterns from the new Designer Paper Series Paper Stack - Wood Textures.
Father Christmas is stamped right onto the DSP using Early Espresso ink. I used Watercolour Pencils to colour him, and did not use a blender pen as I wanted a soft look. I stamped some of the pine boughs on the DSP with Always Artichoke, and cut some out of Old Olive. The pine cone is cut from Copper Foil. And the arch is, of course, more DSP, sponged with Early Espresso.

Its' great to have a Christmas Challenge Gail and t hanks so much for leading us off with such a great card. What could be better than Father Christmas! I sat on the rail about this stamp set last year, but after seeing you beautiful card I see it going back on my wish list. Great job using the new Wood grain DSP. I love that you stamped the santa directly on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Penny. That set was one of the first I ordered from the Holiday catalogue. Don't think you will regret getting it!
DeleteLove this card and this image Gail - I didn't get him last year - and wish I had - glad he's staying around for another year
ReplyDeleteThanks Fiona. I hope you get this set - you won't regret it!
