Santa Brings The Gifts

As promised a card - Wahoo!

Right, this card uses Jane's wonderful sketch from The Whiff Of Joy Challenge Blog (what's this? Two challenges in one week? - Shock!) and the super gorgeous Santa With Gifts Stamp is from Whiff Of Joy.

The papers are from the Basic Grey Wassail pack and a torn page from an old encyclopedia I picked up from a charity shop for 50p! I've distressed the papers with inks and my seam ripper.


Santa has been coloured with PrismaColor pencils and Sansodor.



The big flower has a yummy gold sequin centre from Prima and is available, along with lots of other colours, here.


Hope you are having a gift filled day
Kim

Edit - I've also added this to the Saturday Spotlight Challenge which is all about words this week! Thanks Vicki!

    Wow Kim, your colouring with the Prismas is fantastic. Can I ask what card you use with these pencils? I love the flowers too - the new Prima flower centres are gorgeous and I've just received some to play with!
