Simon Says - Blog Hop and Show

The SSSS challenge this week is slightly different - check out all the deets here

You need to make a piece of Holiday themed art (Thanksgiving, Halloween or Christmas) and take part in a blog hop.

On my travels round the DT's art in the hop, I came across some great Christmas art amongst other things, and was inspired to make a Christmas card - one off the list, yay!!

All stamps are by Tim Holtz ( a Christmas present from last year, which I haven't been able to use till now!) and paper are by Paperartsy. I coloured the Santa with fired brick distress ink, lightly blending from the edges. The Pine Needles stamp are inked in - get this - pine needles DI.

Now I have just got to find the right place to link my card to and enter the challenge/hop.  Check it out, there is a fab main prize as well as other ones along the way. Start at Simon Says Stamp and Show and have fun.
You have a week, until 15th.
