Jolly Old St Nick

 

 Time is flying by, and soon the jolly old man himself will be visiting all of the good boys and girls on his list - are you on the naughty or nice list?!!!  My card today features an old fashioned Santa image from Stamps Happen, that I colored with Copics then cut and matted with Spellbinders Label 3.  The dp for the card front is from Kaisercraft's Turtle Dove collection, the die is Marianne Creatibles Designs Mistletoe Twigs, sentiment is from Lili of the Valley, button, twine, ribbon, and the bell are all from my stash.

Christmas Song

Back to distress inks and the wonderful watercolor effect you achieve with the inks when you paint with them.  This card features a Stamps Happen Inc image entitled "Chickadee" by artist Carolyn Shores Wright.

 

 

The image is mounted on the inside of the card, while a circle opening on the front is framed with the Frostyville Wreath die cut from Memory Box.  The sentiment is from The Stampin' Up Christmas Lodge set.  This card will be one of three cards in an upcoming class for distress ink painting.
