Santa's on the cover

Crafts Beautiful asked me to make a jolly Santa card for their Xmas Special and this is what I came up with. They like bright colours and not too many embellishments. I even made the front cover.

The image is from Lili of the Valley coloured with Copics, papers from The Works, sentiment from LOTV and tree die from Crafts Emotions.

You're on the nice list

 Well here is a surprise, a card that isn't Lili of the Valley for a change this week. I must welcome my 2 new followers, thanks for joining me. Of course all my visitors are on Santa's nice list.

I used stamps from MFT Jingle all the Way set, coloured with Copics. I have grounded them, it just doesn't show very well. The papers are some new ones I bought in The Works and the bunting die is Lawn Fawn.

Scandi Santa

Another scheduled post today as we stayed overnight Thursday night after the craft show and then on Friday drove back to Norfolk but instead of returning home we went to a Premier Inn at Lowestoft, which is actually just over the border in Suffolk. We then went to the concert and stayed overnight so will be returning home this morning.  Off to Tesco and unpack and then have a look at my purchases from Thursday.

I got to play with another of Janet's new images at Pink Gem. I love scandi style and this Santa goes so well with the new scandi papers from LOTV. I used another new sentiment stamp from Sleek Designs and stamped it directly onto the precoloured digi. He is also available to colour but I was running short of time before my trip away. I added lots of sparkle with a brush pen and used MFT layered snowflakes with glitter card. I diecut lots of banners using pierced banner dies from MFT.

I would like to enter this into the anything goes challenge at Simon Says.
