It's bingo time over at the Outlawz Twisted Thursday! I chose the vertical line in the middle to make my card.My fun Santa image lives over at Stitchy Bear - our sponsor for December. My image is called "Busted" and can be found here. Just look at Santa's face - I think his expression says all we need to know about how he feels being attacked by the family pet! Not easy being Santa...
I colored the image using Promarkers, paper pieced his bag with hessia patterned DP and mounted his head on foam for dimension.
I wanted to make a scene depicting a living room, so I chose a DP from Echo Park to make the wallpaper and a Tim Holtz Sizzix die to make the window. Behind the window made of white paper and acetate I used a dark blue paper sprayed with white mist. I used 2 tag stamps from LOTV, heat embossed using brown powder on kraft, attached them with a bow of twine and a brad. This was a fun card to make. I might make variations of this design, just redecorating the living room and using different images.
This card is also for these challenges:

Ho ho, jeg må si det samme til deg som jeg sa til en av mine DTkollegaer hos TTHP; Jeg tror bikkja savner postmannen, og at det ikke overrasker nissefar... Motivet er bare superkult, og kortet ditt er en fryd for øyet :) Tusen takk for at du deltar hos TTPH :)

I have to say...this made me smile. You're right, it's not easy being Santa. To start with, having an ample girth makes chimneys a right nightmare... only to be greeted by a friendly family pet when you crash land. Such a fun card, Pia. Love it!

That image made me LOL!!! It's really cute but he looks so very tired! I also LOVE that window scene you made...it's brilliant!!!
That cracked me up! I can't helped but to look twice on Santa, LOL. That's a very clever card. I am thinking of clever Christmas messages to add on that too :) Merry Christmas.
Fantastic job!!!! You really out done yourself on this card. I love Santa's face and we can't forget the dog. This is such a fun card.
