Another week closer to the start of the festive season .... although it seems to have already started in some places.
Christmas lights are being switched on ..... the shops are full of Christmas decorations, gift ideas and yummy festive food ...... and I've just ordered a new frock for the Christmas do!!! Bet it won't fit when it arrives!!!
Anyway ..... it's the start of the weekend and I haven't got a lot of time left to get my entry in for this week's Less is More challenge.
Unfortunately I missed last week's (sigh!) ....... a case of too much to do and not enough week to do it in. I wasn't missing this week's though ....... it's One Layer Week ....... whoo hoo!! and the theme is the big man himself .........
SANTA
One layer cards ...... don't you just love 'em! Great for posting though!
I've used my all time favourite Santa image ...... Santa Collage and the sentiment is an old Penny Black stamp.
A really quick and simple design (quick if you don't keep getting black marks on your card that is ....... 4 times I had to do this! Like I said OL cards ...... !!!!!)
I cut myself an oval aperture in a piece of copier paper and used it as a mask to stamp the image through .....
I added a touch of colour to his cheeks, his eyes and his hat using Distress Inks ......... and a touch of sparkle to his glasses with a Stardust Gel Pen
Well I said it was quick!
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day, and have a lovely weekend.
I'm looking forward to a nice fun day on Sunday ..... it's time to get together with the crafty bunch again ...... no doubt there'll be cake ..... yum!!
Cheerio until next time

All your LIM cards are winners in my book, Linda! You were missed last week! This OLC is perfection for a Christmas card! You make me wish I had a big fat Santa Baby stamp so I could try this, but I'm pinning to use the design idea with other stamp images! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWow ... that is one gorgeous image ... and I love how you've added all the special touches and little hits of colours. Great design Linda. Well worth stamping it four times! xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous Santa image, Linda. He looks great with just a few touches of colour and sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us.
