Some more fairy quick cards and I love this Santa. I first saw him a few years back at the Newbury Stamp Show where I was informed I have too many Christmas stamps so I didn't buy him. I've searched for him ever since especially when the stall hasn't been there since.
Then at Ally Pally Simply Friends stamps stall had him as a Blue Moon stamp and I didn't hesitate to buy him.
The blending tool and distress pads were working hard, I used stormy sky and Barndoor inkpads. The snowflake branch is from the Christmas flourish set from Inkadinkdo and yes the sentiments are peel offs, I have no problem using them for sentiments.
I've used two colourways, I love the richness of the red and gold but love the blue and silver is my favourite.
I do wonder whether I should of stamped the image in black so you can see it better.
Lucky for me the challenge on Spoonful of Sugar is for distressing and reckon these cards fit the bill.

Oohh, I love these Santa cards - the santa stamp and the flourish in the corner are both stunning.
You are whizzing through your Christmas cards at the moment - I've managed to make one for a teacher, plus two test cards for batch making (but I'm not too happy with them).

What a great card and what a gorgeous Santa image. Can you tell me what stamp you are using?

Beautiful cards Debby. My favourite is the blue and silver, it looks really elegant. I think you made the right choice not printing the face in black, it gives the card a delicate look.

Wow ... what a beautiful and elegant Christmas card. Although Blue is my favorite color ... but this time the red card my favorite.
