For today we have the theme of SANTA. I chose to play with Santa Stocking Sack - you can find it
here. I used my Promarkers and a white and silver gel pen to color him up and I used my snow pen on his beard.
I went for a rustic style, using a gingham patterned paper from Maja Design and one with Christmas sentiments in different languages from Panduro.
I cut the banner using stitched dies from Dienamics. I decorated the top part with a die cut pine branch with glitter, a silver bell, brown string and some red berries.
