ATSM Challenge #103 - Holiday

Hi everyone how are you?

Once again, I would like to thank everyone so much for their birthday wishes over the last few days. I feel like it is still my birthday!

We have a brand new challenge starting now over at Addicted to Stamps and More! We are up to our HOLIDAY theme so you can go nuts and choose whichever holiday you would like.

I have chosen to work with one of our sponsor images plus use the sketch from Happy Little Stampers. (The sketch challenge is up and running for the entire month of July so there is plenty of time to play along).


Here is my DT card -


Isn't he a cutie! I have coloured Santa with my Spectrum Noir markers. I used a circle die (first tracing around my image and then cutting the section where the tree is so I could partial die cut and not chop the tree off) and then sponged around the edge with blue ink. I found some glitter paper and used a corner die on the opposite ends. The band at the back is simply a piece of cardstock snipped at a diagonal at each end. 

The image came with a star on top of the tree (but not attached). When I cut around the tree, I lost the star. It ended up somewhere in one of those never to be seen again places. It will turn up tomorrow, I'm sure ;)

I have used the sketch over at Happy Little Stampers for this layout -

Our sponsor that provided me with this delightful image is


and they are offering 3 digis for our winner.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

Crafty Boot Challenges - Christmas in July
Graphit Challenge - Anything Goes with markers
Simply Create Too - Christmas in July (bugger, I missed the deadline)

Thanks so much for looking xx

    Sweet!! Your Santa is adorable ... and the coloring is amazing! Love the partial die-cut circle. Amazed at how you did that ... I would have cut off the tree for sure! Love the bling from the glimmer paper and the diagonal-cut banner is a fabulous design element. Loll xx
