Merry Monday #81 - Santa

This week's theme at Merry Monday is to use Santa himself on your cards.  I used a stamp from Habico (NBUS) inked in Cherry Cobbler, some scraps of red for the scallop borders and mats, a Sizzix holly embossing folder, and finished it with cherry cobbler seam binding. Then I decided it needed a bit more so added a Frosted Finishes embellishment from Stampin' Up! And here is the inside


The stamp is Penny Black which I have just acquired as I thought it was perfect for the insides of cards.

    A gorgeous card Sue. The Santa image is so detailed. The embossed background sets it off beautifully and the scripty sentiments inside and out are the perfect accompaniments. Thank you so much for joining us at Merry Monday.
