Hello Friends and Welcome Back! Today starts a new challenge month at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog and Jan has released 3 new sets for the month of September: Pumpkin Pie, Halloween Treats and Peppermint Santa. For my project, I've used the Peppermint Santa digital set to create one of my first cards for this Christmas Season.
I've colored the images using Prismacolor Pencils and kept the card design fairly simple by showcasing a large focal image on my card. The sentiment is part of this digital set and I've fussy cut it so it wouldn't cover up too much of the scene, then popped the strip on craft foam for dimension.
Lastly, I've highlighted parts of the images with a Sakura Gelly Roll Stardust Pen and added green faux gems. I like this style of Santa Claus; Jan's drawings remind me of vintage with a touch of whimsy, and now we know how Candy Canes are really made!
Please visit us at the challenge this month. Be certain to stop by the Jan's Digi Stamps Shop for the Fall is Falling Sale, there are 10 Autumn themed sets specially priced through the end of this month. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

This is just the best, Donna! What a fun image! I love how the artist has created so much movement; I swear you can see Santa moving that paintbrush and that little dog licking along! I have to add, you are an expert with those pencils!! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
