Winter Wonderland Challenge!!!

Afternoon All,
Well it's turned into quite a nice day here still a bit chilly though...Had to taked my lovely Dad to the Doc's this morning..It seems my Dad at the grand old age of nearly 81 has a form of Glue ear which apparently children get...I know they say that when you get older you can regress to childhood but that's taking it a bit far dread to think when I see him next he might have the short trouser's on...I have made this card this afternoon for the Winter Wonderland Challenge of St Nicholas..I love this stamp he looks like I always imagined santa would look like when I was little... now who is regressing!!!lol He is stamped on to glossy card and I have just coloured his hat and holly..


The photo doesn't show up very well that I have glittered part of his hat,the bobble and his beard..



The paper is from my stash can't tell you what it's called have cut the name off...the ribbon is from my stash as are the gem dew drops...I have used one of Janet's sentiment stamps from pink gem design's I just cut it in half to fit..well that's it from me today off to sort out my stand's, cards and things for the craft fayre tomorrow wish me luck..I will take some picc's if I can to show you all...enjoy the weekend....

Hi Mandy! A fantastic card - (I also think the santa looks like he'd be the real thing) - I love the sparkle and the contrast of the embossed kraft paper.
Praying your Dad's ear heals quickly.
