Digi Choosday Challenge – Traditional Christmas!

Good morning!  Hope all is well with you and yours! OMG it’s 1^st December! Just 24 sleeps to go people!! Have you been good? I’m panicking!! J

So as well as it being 1^st December it is also Choosday which means it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this week is, fittingly, Traditional Christmas!  As always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details and as it is also DISCOUNT DAY you need to grab the code to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! But be quick, the offer is a 24 hour only deal!!

Now what depicts a more traditional Christmas than an image of Father Christmas?  (Well maybe dodgy festive jumpers and last minute panic buying but let’s focus on the positive here!!)  And I have to say that Nikky has drawn the most amazing vintage Santa I have ever seen! Isn’t he fab!!

I decided, for no other reason than I got the wrong card out of the cupboard (doh!), to print my images onto watercolour paper.  A happy accident as it turns out because I rather like the textured result.

Ingredients:

Image, paper, sentiment & poinsettia: PICKNIX 3 – NORDIC WINTER

Card: Watercolour card – Centura Pearl

Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Pin Hole Rectangles’ - Sue Wilson ‘Pierced Flags’

Colouring/Ink: LYRA REMBRANDT POLYCOLOR PENCILS
