He's making a list



I made a Christmas card for a challenge on http://www.charmedcrafttalk.com/ and thought I should post it on my blog as well with extra detail. The requirements of the challenge were a Christmas card using lace, glitter, an embellishment and for bonus points some wording.

I decided to use a cute Santa Claus image from Dustin Pike (http://dustinpike.blogspot.com/) on my card which I have coloured with Primacolor pencils and mounted in a 3D effect with foam stickers. He is mounted on white card embossed with a "snowball" effect made by using a Fiskars embossing template and then on red card. I didn't have any lace so that isn't included. The glitter is the highlighted areas on Santa's hat and jacket. I have used 3 silver wooden stars which are decorated with jewels to cover the embellishment requirement and I have managed to get the wording on too.
