I did a fun card class last week using lots of punches. This Santa is one of the cards I had them make. Isn't it cool?! I confess that it wasn't my original idea; but rather one that I found somewhere out there in blog land a while back. When I stumble across ideas like this, I save them in a file on my computer for future use. :)
I promise to share the rest of the cards from the class in the very near future!
Here's a close-up of Santa's sweet face:
I sponged on some pink around his nose, lip, and on his cheeks. Then I added some White Opaque Pen to make his eyes come alive. I think the Swirls Cuttlebug Folder is what really makes the card...so cool!
I hope your Thursday is full of love and happiness, my friends!
See you tomorrow for Flourishes Friday!
Hugs,
~Cindy

I love this Santa card. I too would love to know the directions on how to make it. I have lots of stampinup punches and others and getting more all the time. So if anyone finds the directions I would really love a copy. These would be great cards to give to anyone but especially my grandchildren. JoAnn
