Another Santa card

If you're a regular visitor to my blog you might think you've seen this card before - yes, you've seen a similar one, but this is a new one. When a friend saw the other one (original one can be seen here) she commissioned me to make some more, hence this one today. There will also be one following with an angel stamp instead of Santa and I showed one yesterday that had a lovely reindeer stamp (it's on my CHNC challenge blog here).

Once again, I used a few Inkadinkado snowflake stamps randomly stamped with Brilliance starlite silver and heat embossed with detail silver powder. I used one of my favourite Christmas stamps, the Rubber stampede 'Santa collage', mounted on silver mirror card with a couple of gems and added a couple of Prima flowers with pearls.

Because the image is mounted on silver mirror card (not black as it looks here) it's a very difficult card to capture on camera - if I get a better daytime photo I'll change it. The snowflake swirls all look like they do at the top left hand corner.

This is for:
