Afternoon all - this is my final post for the day so I will keep it short! Its midway through the month for the Santa challenge at CCAYR
(christmascardsallyearround) today - here's my midmonth inspiration for you - another Imagination Crafts project - what do you think?
This was an incredibly simple card to make - first I used pan pastels to create the background - then stamped the indigo blu santa and reindeer in the sky and then added the two different colours of sparkle medium through the Imagination Crafts Stencil called 'In the Clearing'. The majority of it was done in antique bronze and the moon in Diamond sparkle. A really quick and effective card!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
