An old-fashioned Santa...

 

This image was offered for personal use on one of the Facebook AI sites that I frequent. I thought it was such a nice depiction of an old-fashioned Santa, that I decided to print it out to use for a few Christmas cards. I cut it out with one of my favorite fancy corner rectangle dies and glued it directly to my red card base.

The image included some pink poinsettias, which you can see in the bottom righthand corner. As an extra embellishment, I cut one out of pale pink cardstock, inked the center of each layer of petals and added it to my card.

I also die-cut some white boughs to extend from each side of the flower and added a red gem to the center.

I stamped two sentiments on the inside and added a strip of red cardstock for a little embellishment.

I think I will be making a few more of these, as I really like how it turned out.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
