Here comes Santa!......

I thought that I'd share a shaped card today..a jolly, rosy cheeked Santa.
I cut 2 santa shapes from white card and joined them together at the top with PVA glue. I then cut another santa shape from flesh coloured card and adhered it to the base card. I added a little chalk to the cheek area to give him some rosyness! The beard and moustache were cut from white textured card then embossed with a Fiskars Texture Plate. The beard was adhered flat and the moustache with foam pads. The hat was cut from red card, the pom-pom added and then adhered to the base card. Googly eyes, a glittery red nose, hand cut eyebrows and a pair of specs made from gold wire complete the card. I also added a computer generated sentiment mounted onto red card and adorned it with punched holly leaves with red gem berries. A second holly bunch adorns Santa's hat.
Carts used:
Card base and Santa face- Doodlecharms
My boss bet me that I couldn't make a card with just ONE cart! HA HA! Told you I could Jennie!
Thanks for looking , have a safe Guy Faulkes night and a great weekend! Also a belated Happy Diwali!!!
