Sparkles When Cold

Hello Nomad friends.  Temperatures here in southern Norway continue to hold around -8°C.  As they say, 'Baby It's Cold Outside'!!!!   The thick frost does make for very pretty sparkles when the sun or moon hits it, but I think I have lost my tolerance to cold.  In celebration of all things cold and sparkly I made another Santa card, stamping him on snowflake paper and giving him glitter sparkles to match the weather.

I've used a lovely stamp from Stampendous called Postcard Santa.  I used a Kort og Godt grey woodgrain card base and stamped using Sky Blue archival.  I wanted the background to be subtle so I just lightly smeared my ink pad over the stamp.

I stamped Santa on some very pale blue snowflake paper with black archival, coloured with distress markers, Promarkers, white gel pen and glitter glue on the fur and tree snowy bits.

I cut a scrap with a stitch landscape die to give him somewhere to stand, and added my fussy cut Santa.  Love that he has a snowflake in his beard!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    Great card Gail, I love the Santa. It's been pretty cold here today, below freezing but not as cold as it is in Norway! xx
