A little bit of Christmas

I managed to knock out another Christmas card for the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge - Santa.

I do not have a Santa stamp.  So I improvised.  I found hat and boot images, colored them with red and black wink of stella.  Next I die cut my front panel with Simon Says Stamp's Tri Square Die,  then embossed it with Holly Leaves by Darice.  I placed the hat and boot images behind the openings.  For the center opening, I colored it red with a red wink of stella brush pen and added a gold heat embossed greeting using Lawn Fawn's Milo's ABC's to mimic Santa's torso and belt.

Thanks for stopping by!
