When I see this set I think of children's dreams of Christmas. I think you will just love the sweetness of this set, Dear Santa. Beautifully illustrated again by Marcella Hawley.
Here you have Santa's big boot filled with goodies. I wanted it to have a dreamy vintage feel so I stamped it with Memento Toffee Crunch onto Flourishes Classic Ivory Cardstock and coloured it up with Prismacolor pencils blending with OMS. It really gives you that softened quality. I vintaged it all up using Ranger Distress Ink in Antique Linen using the Blending Tool. The background layer is embossed with a poinsettia embossing folder and distressed as well. I've used Spellbinders Snowflakes as accents and then Grommet Tags for the sentiment. The papers are Kaiser December 25th. The card measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 in size.
A little accenting with Candi, crochet lace and edged taffeta ribbon.
