Happy Monday… my crafty friends I’m back with another card for this weeks Merry Monday Christmas challenge. This week Deanne challenged us to create a Christmas card with a Santa hat. I was a little lost on this one considering I didn’t have a stamp with a Santa hat nor a die cut. I used the new Stamp set form the Simon Says Stamp December Card kit (Christmas Squad). You should head on over to see what the rest of the Design Team has created this week.

I stamped the Santa image onto X-Press It Blending card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink (copic friendly) and colored with various Copic Markers ( E31,33 C1, 110, 0, R24,27 RV21) then die cut with a Lawn Fawn (Lg Stitched 4 Bar Rectangles Die). I wanted the Santa hat to be the focal point on my design so I added some Nuvo Glitter Accents to the fur trim and Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the hat. Here’s a close up of the hat.

To finish my card I cut a panel of the Doodlebug design (Milk & Cookies 6×6 paper) with the Santa’s on it and adhered to an A2 Top Fold Stampin Up (Real Red) card base.
