Santa Claus is coming to town




This is the card that I have made for latest challenge on the Squigglefly challenge blog.  The challenge this week is inspired by a song.  The song I picked was Santa Claus is Coming to Town.   The image I used is called Kris Kringle I love this image it reminds me of the photo stamp images.  I felt like I wanted this card to have an aged look.  So I just used Tim Holtz's Distress ink to color the image with the ink applicator. and  then tore the edges.  Then I used a part of an embossing folder on the bottom to show Santa flying  thru the air.
the background is just designer paper.  I then added a wee bit of glitter with a gel pen on the hat.. to give it just a little sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by.. don't forget to enter the blog challenge I would love to see what you do with a song..
Thanks
Debbie

I love this aged look. It looks good on Santa anyway.

What a pretty card with just a hint of color! I'm thinking I might need to go get this image even though I don't like to color.
