Stampin’ Up! Father Christmas
Hi and welcome to the ESAD (Extra Special Australasian Demonstrators) Blog Hop. We are featuring the Holiday Catalogue and I’m playing with Stampin’ Up! Father Christmas.
He certainly is one to colour, and I’ve used the catalogue to guide me with it.
My card is a very slim one at only 8.5cm wide so Father Christmas here fills out the card quite nicely. Originally I had a piece of Garden Green card him, but it just wasn’t doing it for me, you know that feeling? So I flicked through the Holiday Catalogue and ta-da the Warmth and Cheer DSP Stack suited the card perfectly!
Check out that gorgeous Christmas Trinket, love the detail in it. I’m usually really stingy with embellishments like this, but you can’t keep them just to look at! There’s a piece of Cherry Cobbler Silky Taffeta Ribbon behind the card, and I’ve just used some Silver Metallic Thread to tie the Trinket to the Ribbon.
The Sentiment is from the Wonder of Christmas Stamp Set.
