Santa, Take A Bough...

Here is a Papertreyink card I made last week, utilizing, the set, Take A Bough. I turned one of the branch ornaments into a Santa head! I know...isn't he the cutest? And oh so simple! Here's what I did: I stamped my image on red cardstock with Papertreyink Fresh Snow. While still wet I sprinkled ultrafine prisma glitter for his beard, leaving the little circle for the mouth. Using my glue pen, I also went in and added more glitter. I wanted a solid glitter look for his beard. I think the design of the wave line separated the beard/mustache from the eye region beautifully. I wanted a solid red hat, so after cutting stamped image out, I trimmed off at the stamped line, leaving a triangle, that is turned over revealing solid cardstock, topped it with an adhesive pearl, added a pop dot and Santa now has his hat on!

I used my scorpal to add some interest along the card edges, and ground my sentiment; season's greetings. I LOVE how this turned out! So simple, clean and great use of a set I already had! And that's a good thing since my stamp purchasing has been limited after our move this year! Have you seen all the new PTI sets this year...I have a lot of catching up to do!!!

HOPE you all had a wonderful weekend, a marvelous Monday, and are off on a terrific Tuesday! Fall is here...the leaves are falling and the chill is in the air. Thanks so much for stopping by, I so appreciate it! TAKE good care!
