Santa and those crazy birds.....

Hello there. I'm back with a Christmas card today.


When I looked at this weeks's LIM challenge and saw that it was Santa and one layer I knew I wanted to make this card. I hope I manage to link it on time.




So I stamped the hat first and masked it off and then I stamped the bird. I masked off the wing and then I stamped the candy stick. All stamping was done in Black archival ink.


I then stamped the sentiment and then the star which I embossed in black dancing glitz wow powder for a bit of bling. All stamps used are from stampers anonymous by Tim Holtz.
I coloured it in with distress ink and a damp brush. I used: abandoned coral, fossilized amber, espresso coffee and hickory smoke.


I finished the card off by adding some glossy accents to eyes, beak and stick. And that is my CAS card done, Theresa xx


I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Simply less is more - one layer:Santa
Alphabet challenge blog - 'tis the season
Word Art Wednesday - anything goes
Christmas card Challenge - photo inspiration

Leaving you with the encouragement of God's Word in Psalm 27:1 which says, "The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?
