Simply Create Too - Something Old/Vintage #67


Happy Saturday...just one card to share today and it is for the current challenge over at Simply Create Too #67. I don't do old/vintage type cards well, I spent some time going through all my stamps and finally came up with this sweet old Santa. I just love the sweet look on his face and he reminded me of an old world type Santa. Don't you agree? You have plenty of time to play along...I look forward to seeing all your fabulous cards! My card is also entered in the current challenge at Inkspirational, the challenge is to use pencils or markers. I used Inktense pencils to color the holly on Santa's hat.  Thank you so much for stopping by...enjoy the rest of your weekend!
