Hi Friends and Happy Thursday! I hope your day has been enjoyable thus far, it's a beautiful day here in Central Florida. It's sunny, breezy and the temperature is only 64 degrees F, which is so nice that I have my windows open, enjoying the fresh air.
I'm in full swing with Christmas cards and today I'm sharing the Santa's Sweets Stamp Set #31-083 from Penny Black. This set has a matching die, I do own it but I didn't use it here, instead I've used a Wavy Nesting Die from Kat Scrappiness to cut out the focal image.
I've colored the image using alcohol markers and the patterned papers are from the "A Gingerbread Christmas" 6x6 paper pad from Echo Park.
The focal image has been popped on foam pads for dimension, I've added a few sequins from my stash and of course....Crystal Stickles on Santa's hat brim, suit trim and hat pom pom.
When my children were small, on Christmas Eve we put out cookies and milk for Santa and sprinkled Magical Reindeer food around the house. Santa AKA my husband loved his midnight snack. And if you've never heard of Reindeer Food, you can find the "recipe" HERE.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Fantastic card Donna, that's a great image of Santa! You've done a beautiful job with the colouring, the colours are so clear and vivid. I like the scattering of rhinestones too, they add a nice sparkle.
