The challenge was to use a quote on your card. Thanks to Viv Peters, I was able to use Santa and a holiday quote as my focal point! She sent me some lovely Cotton Scraps from Crafty Secrets a few weeks back!
This was MY card! I used the Santa in the Cotton Scraps and trimmed him down to eliminate the saying. I kind of weaved around when I sewed around the edge to give it a little interest and then I started to unravel the edges. Add some pearls in the corner, add a saying and distress the edges, add a loopy brad with satin ivory ribbon and a pearl and you're almost done! The strip of paper that separates the two patterned paper pieces on my card was sewn on as well. DONE!
Here's a close up of the Santa and saying! The saying is from Impression Obsession!

I love that santa.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I saw this card yesterday and fell in love with it right away. I have the Santa stamp set from Crafty Secrets that has this image in it. I think it's my all time favorite Santa. Oh my, I'm off to Crafty Secrets to buy it in fabric. Now I'm challenged to paint this instead of doing a monochromtic card. Thank you for the inspiration! And thank you for the link to vote, I just cast mine. Good luck!
