My normal card making procedure is to first choose my stamp and then my paper to go with it, but for this card I chose the paper first. I spotted this Granny Enchanted Freebies Red Christmas Pack on Pinterest in December and promptly visited the website to get the paper. It is – as the name implies – free. The image is Woodland Santa from Scribbles. See how Santa is sooo over red and has modernized his wardrobe with a bit of black? I think it's a good look for him, don't you? The sentiment was created with Fine Hand font. I like changing up the 'traditional' Christmas color/paper spectrum with out of the ordinary choices, like this Cowboy Snowman card.

LOL! Love your new wardrobe for Santa... why have I never thought of that??!!! And good for you finding another fabulous freebie in that DP. What really grabs my attention is your layering - is that one panel in the middle elevated or is that an optical allusion? I like the idea of elevation there - but you have so many layers that would be expensive to mail. As always, your skills with blending and highlights/shadows are spot on!

I always enjoy your mix of patterns and layers. Santa is rocking his new fashion look.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very good look for Santa! And he looks like he thinks so too! Wonderful card, Shani! I especially like the bold colours and patterns.
