Santa is coming....

Merry Christmas everyone!  Just a few more sleeps until the big day, and time for another challenge at Charisma Cardz.  The theme this time Santa Claus, and because everyone is so busy.....here's hoping you will get a few crafty minutes to yourself, as we would love to see your entry.


I had some fun with this cute little image from Dustin Pike, which would have been a freebie some time ago.  Coloured with copics, I've added liquid applique to the fur on his suit, and glossy accents for the eyes.  Once again, I've used the 'out of the box' technique...this time with a circle shape.

The mat is made with the Spellbinders Star Circles die, and I've filled the stars with assorted colours of stickles to give the idea of Christmas lights.  The DP is from Basic Grey's Nordic Holiday collection, and the snow flake border uses the pretty Memory Box Frostyville die.  A gold peel-off border and some candi add a bit glimmer, and then it's ready to go in the mail!

This week we have 3 wonderful sponsors with some lovely prizes!
