Merry Monday ~ Santa's Sack

Nina is our Merry Maker and she has asked us to make a card using a sack or bag...that being Santa's sack or bag!!
This was a NBUS stamp from Serendipity called "Santa in Chimney" and lucky for me he has his sack on his back!!

I stamped it twice, colored the sack and the toys inside, then I fussy cut it and adhered it on top with some dimensional tape. I used a B32 copic to go around the whole image.

The background was made using a PTI stencil with three distress inks for an ombre look.

Please join us over at the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Blog and play along...go check out the amazing cards from the rest of the team!

Heart Hugs, friends!
