I am submitting this card for four (count them four) challenges this week. The info for each challenge is as follows:Just Magnolia - Embossing - I used the Cuttlebug Victorian embossing folder for the background behind Santa and I heat embossed the sentiment.
Stamp Something - Something with Your Favorite Embellishment - That was a tough one. I'm not sure I have "one" favorite embellishment. I'm going to say it's ribbon and trim because I use that on almost every card I make. But I like punches and die cuts and pearls a lot too. :)
Sketch Saturday - Sketch shown below. I took a few liberties (fewer "circles" (snowflakes) and a circular sentiment), but hopefully it's still close enough to the original to count.
Cupcake Craft Challenge - Swirls and Pearls - I used my Quikutz Swirls die, plus a swirl in the sentiment and sort of swirls in the background paper and embossed background piece. I used pearls in the center of the die cut snowflakes, the sentiment snowflake and on the folded down corner.
SuppliesStamps: Santa (Magnolia); Be Merry (Imaginisce)
Ink: Vintage Sepia (VersaFine); Blue pigment ink (ColorBox); clear embossing powder
Paper: Cream cardstock (Hobby Lobby); brown cardstock (scraps); DP - Fruitcake (Basic Grey)
Tools: Circle and scalloped circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders); Victorian embossing folder (Cuttlebug); Swirls die (Quikutz); snowflake die (Cuttlebug)
Embellishments: cream trim (Wright's); pearls (Paper Studio)
Techniques: Prismacolor pencils blended with mineral spirits; heat embossing
Finished card size: 6" square

Judy, I just love this card and blue is my favourite colour too! Love the detail on the card, it's a feast for the eyes! Just perfect :)
Judy--I absolutely love this card! I like Santa's backup blue suit!!! I agree he needs a bit of a change now and again. Love the papers, swirls and pearls!
You did an awesome job and he is really pretty but......I'm still for tradition on some things. But if Santa were to change his suit to blue.....yours would be awesome.I need to color mine....both of them!:)
Hi Judy, what a gorgeous card. I love Santa in his blue suit and the blue/brown colour combo is stunning. The swirls and snowflakes look fab. Thanks for joining us at CCC this week. Hugs, Denise x
Judy, this is so clever to give Santa a different color suit other than red. Very creative... Nice to meet you.
