Good Morning.
Meet today's card. Very simple, fun card featuring this great laughing Santa.
So here's what I did.
I cut a circle stencil using a piece of heavy acetate and sponged over the circles with Distress inks to create the background. Next, I scored along the top and the bottom to help define the stenciled area and to help pull the eye into the main part of the card.
I stamped the sentiment from Technique Tuesday using my Misti and black Memento ink.
On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the Santa image and fussy cut it out. I pop dotted the Santa and finally added some Nuvo drops for interest.
A very clean and simple card.
Feeling happy to have another holiday card finished.
Thanks so very much for the visit.
