Dear Santa

Welcome to my Merry Monday post.  Today, LeAnne is challenging us to create a Silent Night aspect to our card.  


I took inspiration from the photo and created this card:


It even has a church in the background LOL.  This is a stamp called Dear Santa by Stamps Happen and is a scene painted by the artist D Morgan.  I've got a couple of her scenes which have been made into rubber stamps and they are gorgeous!

For this image, I stamped and clear-embossed before coloring with distress inks.  I put little dabs of distress paint onto the trees to depict snow and when the piece was dry, I painted over the whole thing with Wink of Stella.  I think the scene looks incredibly peaceful and quiet.  Here's a close up:


Thanks for visiting.  Be sure to check out the beautiful inspiration from the rest of the design team.

Products used:
