Hello Friends and Happy Friday! I have a quick share today featuring the Peeking Santa image from Mo's Digital Pencil. He was an October 2025 Freebie for her newsletter and Patreon members and she hasn't offered him for sale yet, but she has some amazing digital stamps in her shop. I've always loved Mo Manning's artwork and this Santa is drawn so realistically, this is the exact Santa I remember from my childhood.
I've kept the image fairly large so he would take center stage, only adding a bit of patterned paper to represent a wall or door and added a bow for whimsy. I've colored him with Copic alcohol markers and added Crystal Stickles to his hat fur.
I've fussy cut around his fingers and edge of the image so he would fit around the plaid paper, and now he goes in the post. Have you started posting your Christmas Cards yet? Time is flying by so we better shake a leg and get them sent.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Hi Donna, isn't this a brilliant image of Santa. He absolutely perfect and he's how I remember him as well. I love that hint of tartan or plaid that he's peeping around. Great card and thanks so much for sharing your work over at Polkadoodles Digi Choosday and good luck.
