He’s On His Way

Santa that is! Playing with some sets from the Holiday catalog that will be retiring on January 4th – if you haven’t gotten them yet – get them soon before they are gone for good! I loved pairing these two sets together – the trees from Wonderland and Santa with his Reindeer from Cozy Christmas – a child’s dream come true to see Santa flying through the sky. The sky is created by first creating a mask for the moon – I used a 1 1/4″ circle and then sponging Rich Razzleberry, followed by Island Indigo, and topped with Night of Navy. The trees were stamped using Garden Green and Santa and his reindeer using the new Archival Basic Black ink. I ended with randomly dotting snow using the Signo Gel-Pen. The sentiment is from Versatile Christmas and is embossed in White Embossing Powder. I also wanted to show you the inside of the card (as I rarely finish the inside… bad me!) but, today I did:

The inside sentiment is also from Versatile Christmas. Do you stamp the inside of your cards for a more finished look?
