Well, I can hardly believe that it's been two weeks since the last Christmas Card Club Challenge, but it has, so me and the girls are back again with cards showing Santa, which is our lovely Rita's choice.
Here is what I've come up with;
I embossed the Santa image and sentiment in WOW embossing powder and my colouring is done the Zig watercolours. The papers are First Frost from SU, and I've layered silver glitter card and a teal card, with a grey base card. Wink of Stella and some glitter. I love this stamp, but I find it difficult to colour, it's quite detailed and I thought the embossing would help with that, but it didn't, anyway, Rita I hope it will do. Thank you so much for the challenge, it was fun to do.
A quiet weekend for us, sometimes it just good to have nothing planned, I hope you are enjoying whatever your doing.
Scheduling this post for when it goes live tomorrow, and just before I go, thank you for your lovely comments about my last card. Take care and see you soon,
This is amazing!

Well, what a gorgeous Santa Kate! And wearing a robe in my favourite colour too! He really is a fabulous specimen. You are tight - what happens to these two weeks between challenges? They certainly seem to fly by. Weather has changed a bit now and is much cooler today. Still we have had a fabulous week or so and I definitely won't grumble - or not much anyway. Hugs Christine xx

ReplyDeleteLove the fantasy Santa, unusual colours, super card
ReplyDeleteI love the gorgeous rich colours you have used here on your Santa. I embossed mine too as the stamp is very fussy otherwise to colour. Back up and running now with a spanking new router. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see a different sort of Santa image Kate and the colours are so bright and pretty and love that backing paper too and even more glitz with that pretty silver glitter paper and teal card. x
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job of coloring and designing this charming Santa, Kate! I love the jewel tones! My heart goes out to Jenny. When she's ready, I hope she lets us know how she's doing. We are all thinking of her. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYour fantasy Santa has a very magical look about him. Lovely card!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate
ReplyDeleteYes, such sad news regarding Jenny.
Your Santa is lovely .. .. it does look a very intricate stamp but you have used it beautifully.
Hope you are having a good week.
Love Jules xx
What a beautiful stamp, Kate, and your colouring of the image is stunning. A lovely card. xx
ReplyDeleteMagical card Kate. Love the colours you have chosen. Makes him more whimsical. It's a shame when you have a stamp like that. Maybe, a light inky background and stamp the image over it rather than colouring all the detail in may give a nice effect. I have tried that in the past when I have had a similar problem. So sorry to read about your blogging friend.
