Cards for Men Challenge 24.......

Morning Everyone,
Hope you've all had a great weekend.....As some of you told me if I didn't slow down I would pay for it,well I did I haven't been very well since Wednesday evening and then Katy went down with it Friday so we have both had a few PJ days and been looked after by Hubby...I started to feel a bit better yesterday and I knew I needed to finish my Cards for Men DT card... Our Challenge this time is Merry Christmas so as long as it's for a Boy/Man then you have lots of scope anything goes.... we are sponsored this time by the fabulous Bunny Zoe Crafts

I had started my card earlier in the week and as time is at a premium I decided to make the Christmas card for my Father-in-law who loves Christmas,Red and winter flowers so I've used the gorgeous Magnolia Santa.......


I've coloured with my polychromos pencils blended with sansador........The papers I got from A Maze of Memories but I've cut the name off sorry....The card,Gems,Ribbon and charm are all from my stash.....


The flowers are from Mulberry Crafts except the Hellibore which is from Wild Orchid Crafts they have been spritzed with pearl glimmer mist then sprinkled with glamour dust...The sentiment is from Crafty Emmas Store.......
