Santa…I Tried!

High Hopes Stamps, Sue, , , ,

Welcome Everyone;

September is here and the HH Divas have an array of Fall, Halloween and Christmas cards as our daily inspiration here.

Poor Goliath, he has had a  bit of a tricky time trying to explain to Santa, that his well intention plans of being good and helpful to him have gone a tad astray.  I have no doubt that Goliath Christmas Mouse (High Hopes Stamps) will get it all sorted out eventually.

As I had coloured Goliath with a gray and a warm gray I wasn’t sure which one I should use, so I used both to create two CAS cards.  A start to my Christmas collection of cards.  I used different dies and twine also.

Another month is over and it is hard to believe after weeks of  working and schooling from home, our communities are slowly beginning to open a bit more.  The children are also celebrating the new normal for the summer break.

For today’s card, I’m using the adorable Sitting Party Buddy from High Hopes Stamps, who is definitely celebrating.  After colouring the image with copic markers, I cut him out using the Distress Rectangles Die from Spellbinders.  Instead of using multiple design paper, I used a piece of Emerald Waterfall from Deco Foil with a sheet of “Where’s the Party” foil mate from Gina K Designs and ran this through my MINC Machine.  Some twine and enamel dots finished off this CAS card.
