Santa's New Ride...

Now, I know Santa's sleigh and reindeer are the mode of transport for the big night, but getting from point A to point B at the North Pole can also be a challenge.  So, this year Santa has a new ride for his short jaunts!  As my brother and his wife both enjoy the open air on their bikes, I figured this image from Just Inklined would be perfect for their Christmas card.


A nice simple card design, making the most of the colour red.  The white snowy edging on the DP is something new that I found...glitter snow paint.  It adds just a hint of glitter.  Some gold card to mat the image and sentiment, a gold charm that I've coloured with copics, and a few gems all add just a touch of festive glam.  I'm sure this card will bring a smile!

Supplies used:
Sidecar Santa image from the Best of Just Inklined CD
Colouring medium - copics
Spellbinders die - Labels Twelve
Simon Says die - Curvy Snowflake
Martha Steward - Alpine Snowflake punch
Fiskar's 3 in 1 corner punch

Thanks for dropping by, and here's hoping your Christmas preparations are coming along just fine!  Take care and keep well!

  2. Incredible Joyce! Love you card and what a great image of Santa! It's a relief to know that Santa does have other modes of transportation besides the reindeer cause they need their rest for Christmas Eve!
