I was eager to play with this beautiful stamp (Santa's List) set since I don't own it myself. I kept things simple and stamped Santa in Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. I used Season of Style DSP for the background, embossed the Soft Suede cardstock with the Manuscript embossing folder to go with Santa's List and then got the idea of making a scroll for the sentiment block. Added a little bit of baker's twine in the back and voilà! A simple but beautiful Christmas card that could easily be mass-produced.
Sidebar note: Although the supplies list in the catalogue states that the green found in the Season of Style DSP should be Old Olive, it appears that it is indeed Old Olive in the 12 x 12 paper, but the colour is closer to Gumball Green (or Wild Wasabi could work as well) in the small paper pack. Just a heads-up when matching your paper...
The design is inspired by the Deconstructed Sketch #124, and the main image, by the Merry Monday challenge #81 (use Santa on your card).
