One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

CAS Christmas Card November Challenge ~ Santa

I am back to remind you that there is still time to play along with us at CAS Christmas Card challenge.  Christine is still looking for more Santa's on our Christmas cards!
Here I pulled out an older favorite from Clearly Besotted called Santa Baby.  The images are fairly small, but I thought sponging on a nice brick background would be a nice way to add Santa and his gifts in a clean and simple one layer card (actually Santa and the gifts are die cut and adhered on top).
The stencil is MFT small brick.
I am looking forward to seeing your cards in the gallery!
Go HERE to play along and see what the team has for you!
Heart Hugs, friends!

Love the idea of the stenciled brick behind Santa - it immediately made me think of him coming down the chimney! Such a cute Santa and the great stack of gifts for the person who's been good!
