Father Christmas


I am a hoarder when it comes to anything Christmas. 
I was going through my Christmas stamps the other day and found a set that I always loved and haven't used in years. 
I then dug out my old Pear and Partridge paper and combined it with this stamp. 
I even pulled out my old Cranberry Ribbon Rounds out to make a bow.
I've had the 2 CTMH Metallic markers, gold and silver, for over a year and never used them. So, I used them to color the two Christmas balls.  

 I wasn't going to color Santa in. I was just going to make it an old fashion card with just ink distressing. But my Copic markers were screaming at me that I was neglecting them. So, I colored.
I even used the dark red to color my pearls for my embellishments.

 The inspiration for the card actually started with a sketch challenge from Sketch and Stash.

    Gorgeous as always, Nancy. I love that Desert Sand paper from Pear & Partridge. Glad you were able to use some supplies you hadn't tried yet.
