Yesterday I started working on this card for as gift to a family member. I started with this wonderful Santa image from Mo’s Digital Pencil called And I Want A… and Mercy’s Tuesday Sketch Challenge Sketch 53 (MTSC53).

I used this image not to long ago on a card for our babysitter. I love how both of them turned out. This maybe me favorite Christmas image… well at least this year.

I used the gorgeous My Mind’s Eye paper The Merry Days of Christmas and Java Bazzill Cardstock (pretty much my favorite when it comes to brown cardstock).

I modified the sketch just a little and made the main panel square because I didn’t have a large enough circle die for this image.

Here’s a look at the inside:

(The colors are a little off on this… I’m without my Ott light right now so the pics seem to be a bit red.)

I needed to make the inside a gift card holder so I glued down the sentiment panel with the top open so I can slide the gift card right in.

Here’s a closer look at the details:

I embossed both sentiments (I’m getting better at it) and sponged everything with Walnut Distress Ink. And added two little taggie buttons and it’s done. And the main image is colored with Copics… a ton of Copics, lol.

I’m not sure if I’ll be posting again before Christmas, I’ve got a LOT of cooking and cleaning to do in the next day and a half so if I can’t get back to the computer I hope you have a fantastic holiday!!!
