Santa

Christmas is creeping up, and not so slowly!  Where did the year go? 

I am having to do my technology homework this year...Daisy is at THAT age!  It's so confusing.  I think games consoles are definitely a man thing, or definitely not a ME thing at least.  I'm definitely going to have to rely on outside advice for this one!

Anyway, here's today's card...



 The image is Santa With A Tree from Sugarnellie, stamped onto Papermill Direct white linen card & coloured with Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils.   He is so cute and jolly.    The papers are one of the Christmas stacks from DCWV.  The red cardstock is Coredinations "Heartfelt".  I glittered his suit using glossy accents and glamour dust.  The heart die is a Quickutz (number QRS0003).  The buttons are from SonasMade.




 Here are the polychromo colours...
