Merry Christmas! :) :)

Don't fall of your chair now when I present my first Christmas card of the year. :) It was so fun to make when the thunder was over us yesterday. Yes I know we're in the end of May but blogging around a bit last night I found two Christmas challenges and I thought hey why not? I got about 50 X-mas cards to make so I better get started right away. This way, no hurry. I am really pleased with how this little Santa guy turned out. My markers and I actually agreed and worked well together for once. I find the red ones really hard to colour with so it's one big "Hurra" today! :) :)

I followed the sketch from Winterwonder land.

The DP are from a down load from Shabby princess. Half pearls used are from BunnyZoe, flowers from Wild Orchid craft and the charm is also BunnyZoe. Ribbon is one from Anitas' card packs, I have just used one of my "today" beloved red markers to make it red instead of the original pink. All edges are distressed with vintage photo from TH. I hope you like my little creation. Feel a bit rusty when it comes to X-mas cards. :) The image is from Sugarnellie.


This card will go in the challenges of:
* Passion for Promarkers - Anything goes and as the Santa is coloured with my markers here he comes. Tons of lovely prizes up this anniversery week, and you can enter as many times as you like. Just use your markers...
* Winterwonder land - sketch
* Susie and Vickie's Christmas club - Anything Christmas

Have a really good day. Of to watch Tomas the Tanktrain with Philip how is home sick today.

Hugs,
Marie
