Are you feeling the holiday spirit yet?
Meet today's card.
Just a fun little card that will hopefully brighten someones day.
To create my card, I embossed a piece of heavy white cardstock using an embossing folder from Tim Holtz. I love the design it created and just a little tip....if you lightly spray you paper with water before embossing, you will get a much crisper impression on your paper.
Next, I printed out the Santa and sprayed with Krylon to seal the ink and avoid bleeding.
(I first bought him when he was offered as a digi. He is no longer available but you can buy him in a set from MFT.)
Using Copic markers, I coloured him in and glued a cute little sparkle pom-pom to his hat.
I die-cut the sentiment using a die from Stamplorations and also coloured that using Copics giving it an ombre look.
I glued that over my embossed background and pop-dotted Santa on top of the sentiment.

This Santa is so much fun! Love that embossed background!
SO adorable, love the multi color sentiment!!
This is absolutely adorable, Karen! Love the clean design and the beautiful way you colored him. And yes, that embossing folder is a must have! What a great card!
I've been tempted to get that Santa set for some time, Karen. The thing about a digi is you can resize it, can't you? Love the ombre coloring and embossing.
This is a lovely cute card. I love the image and the embossed background.
Great tips, thank you and a GREAT card and colouring.
