Friday, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and we have another challenge that starts today at QKR Stampede. Our theme is "Santa" and we're all waiting to see him with his sleigh and reindeer. However, I want you to know that there are secondary arrangements made just in case the reindeer get sick or refuse to fly on Christmas Eve. Here's evidence that Santa is a master on the skis although he may be running late to those areas without snow for Christms!
I used Digi 16702 Santa Skiing and Digi 8717 Merry Christmas; colored the image with my Copics (because they have the best reds of any of the alcohol markers) and then used a red CS frame, die cut with a die from Impression Obsession. The frame is actually something I would normally have thrown away after cutting another very intricate piece, but I was working on more than one card that morning and, as I looked at the outer frame piece, I saw that it could be used to frame the Skiing Santa so I distressed the edges, layered it on top of the image and made a tiny curl on one corner.
I added the two bits of sparkly twine, one red and one gold, and tied them together in the upper corner. I added the hand-cut and matted sentiment, then left it very CAS so that it can be easily mailed. It makes a great masculine card.
