Blue Santa

I created this card using the  Doodle Pantry digital stamp set called 'Jolly  St Nickolas'. The set contains outline  and pre coloured images,  plus  digital papers and  sentiments. All of this is available for less than three dollars ! How great is that:O)! I don't know what happened to my stickles (I used the diamond shaded one, and it came out yellowish; maybe they turn colour over time  sitting in the bottle. All my attempts to fix came to naught so I over layered it with Frosted Lace and it still has the yellow tinge to it. Oh well.....

  30. Doing Santa in blues instead of the traditional reds is such a fantastic way to showcase Laurie's wonderful St. Nicholas. I love everything about this card, especially the snowflakes!

  31. Glenda, the blue is wonderful. I did a Santa in blue years ago, before I blogged and took it to an exchange and everyone scoffed at a blue Santa, I loved it. Fun sparkly card.
