Xmas Card #22

ETA: I got Top 3 at ABC Xmas with this card

Well, TGIF!  And the drinkies are chilling in the fridge as we speak!  Hurrah!

Anyway, High Hopes challenge this week is to make a card for a boy or girl (though I suppose this is girly with all that pink!)  BTW I was lucky enough to win their recent 'spread the word' candy so I can't wait for some of their fabulous new release goodies to pop through the letter box!
Coloured Santa with copic markers and some Smooch Illuminate added to Santa's green costume.  I've run out of glue so for his furry bits I just used some Glossy Accents and dropped some white flower soft into it and it seems to be holding OK.

ABC Christmas challenge : S is for Santa (with the extra challenge of not making his outfit red)

Sketch from Papertake Weekly #47

How cute is this? Santa looks awesome in his green suit with the fuzzy trim. And the little kitties are just darling. I like the non-traditional Christmas colors. So happy you could join in the fun with us for the Simon Says blog hop!
