Santa


SECOND POST FOR TODAY.

As regular visitors will know I love purple and pink cards. However I really love this Christmas card in more traditional colours. This card came together so easily unlike the last one. The image is Sugar Nellie coloured with PMs and cut out with Nesties Labels 4. I inked the edges and added glitter flocking to his fur. Papers are Dovecraft. I covered the plain white snowflake with gold glitter and added flowers and snowflakes for more glitter, glitz and texture.
