I coloured Santa with Prismacolor pencils and fussy-cut so I could pop him up with foam tape. I added Martha Stewart crystal glitter on the white parts of his hat and suit. The kraft background is die-cut with Lawn Fawn Snowy Backdrop and I added some die-cut stitched landscapes from Poppystamps. The patterned paper is very old leftover snippets from my stash, as are the strips of red glitter foam. To finish it off I added a tiny snow-covered tree.
Just like yesterday I have another photo bomb to share. My little elf Eli has sneaked into the photo of my Santa card. As soon as Eli saw Santa, he got very excited and started singing "Here Comes Santa Claus"! Eli doesn't want to miss a day to link up over at DL.ART's Third Annual Elf Antics Linky! If you have a little elf, you will want to join Eli, Archi, Ron, Daisy, and Hope in their funny elf antics.
