Here comes Santa

Today has turned out differently to how I thought it would. I started off the day going over to a friend's to sort out her computer - a successful time, so that was good.

John was meant to be going off to a bowls match today, so I had planned to have a crafting day with no interruptions - ha ha - the bowls match was rained off ... meanwhile the driver who was going to take him by car to Rochester for the match had already turned up here, so he came in for a cuppa and a chat ...

So I haven't got on with any of the things I'd planned and here I am making a Christmas card instead!

It's no secret that I love making Christmas cards (that's why I started my Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge blog - if you haven't visited yet, I'd love to see you there), so, when I saw that this week's DCM challenge was 'Father Christmas' how could I resist (even if I have left it till the last day!).

The background snowmen paper is BG jovial, the swirly red foiled card is from a QVC kit from a couple of years ago and the stamped image is Hero Arts jolly Santa, coloured with copics.

I've used the sketch for Inkspirations 73:


This is also for:

Winter wonderland: swirls and pearls
Christmas stampin all year long: babes in toyland - card to give to a child
Irish teddy's: Christmas is coming, Christmas is ...
Just add ink 72: just add some colouring in
Totally stampalicious: anything goes
Delightful: anything goes
Southern girls 21: anything goes
Papertake weekly: anything goes
Deep ocean challenge 1: anything goes
Whoopsi Daisy: make it free and easy
Cardmakin mamas 22: with a child or for a child
Top tip Tuesday 38: open challenge
