Jolly Old Santa

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.
