Rudolph Day for April

 Rudolph Day is here!

25th of the month means it’s time to add some cards to our Christmas stash.

So, here goes using up some more backgrounds I’ve have for a few years, from a batch make ๐Ÿ™„


I layered that lovely tree die over my sparkly pasted trees,
added the truck from Gummiapan, loaded up with the tree and gifts 


I used pens to make it shabby (perhaps too much ๐Ÿ˜‚)


Next up that cool Santa, sat on a wall, cut from yet another pasted background 
(I did make quite a few, so it’s my challenge to use them all ๐Ÿ˜‰)


Santa was cut from card, snipped and layered.

Above I coloured the gifts with pens,

below I just did the “ribbon”


A piece of embossed white for the snowflake background.
This Santa was also cut from card, but I cut his trousers short and coloured his pink legs ๐Ÿ˜ƒ


I also used up some old tea bag folding card blanks.

You can just about see the teapot.

It’s amazing how you can use up old stuff in a different way.

The bits from the aperture were used for sentiments etc.


Happy Rudolph Day!

  7. Kraft and white with a splash of red is always fab at Christmas! I particularly like your Santas although I feel you might need to recolour the shorter trousered Santa's legs blue by the time the winter comes! Hugs, Vicky xxx
