TGIF!! This week has seemed to just freakin' drag on and on and on... and not in a good way. When was the last time I said it...
I want to be a kept woman... Somehow saying it just didn't help :)
Ok, on to today's schtuff! How cool is this santa?! The photos kinda look washed out, sorry. The colors look much better in real life. AND you can't see the subtle sparkle I added with the glitter pen, dang it. Someone PLEASE teach me how to use a camera properly!
Stamps: Vintage Santa, Thinking of You (Hostess Level C)
Paper: Ivory UltraSmooth, Brown, & Amelia cardstocks, Mulberry Meadow cardstock (retired)
Ink: Burnt Umber Palette
Other: Prismacolors w/ mineral oil, Copper Hardware, misc. ribbon & twine, Fiskars border punch, distresser
I think he turned out pretty cool. Even though I'm not really into vintage-style stamps, I HAD to get this one... it was one of the first ones that jumped out at me from the new Inspiration Avenue magalogue.
I added shimmer to the snowflakes, santa's hair & beard, and to random areas of the toys.
I wonder who gets this card come December?
What do you think?

OH man! I hadn't heard it for awhile and I was beginning to worry that you DIDN'T want to be a kept woman anymore! :):)
The card is fantastic! I have been playing with that set for a couple of weeks now and none of my cards have looked this good! GREAT job!
You are such a talented colorer (is that a word?). Your santa looks 3D!! Great job!

It's AWESOME!!! I just got that set - haven't even cut it out. I, too, just had to have it even though I would say it's not my normal buy.
