Merry Monday #162 - Merry Christmas Santa

Hello Friends,
Happy Monday, it's time for a new challenge at Merry Monday's Christmas Card Challenge.  This week Kristie is our Hostess and she is challenging us to Use a Tag on our Christmas Cards. I used a NBUS (Never Been Used Stamp) that I have had for quite a while for my tag.  I watercoloured Santa's face and then sponged colour on the rest of the tag.  I added the Holly and Berries for some added interest with the Silver Ribbon, Crystals, Velum and then Silver Embossed the Sentiment. I used S/U's Chalkboard Pen to highlight Santa's Hat, Beard and Eye Brows.  Provo Crafts Snowflake E/Folder finished off the background.  Drop by the Merry Monday blog and check out the amazing cards by the rest of the Design Team for some more inspiration.

Supplies:
Stamps: Rubber Stampede - 3408F Santa Collage, Kaisercraft Mini Clear Stamps - C5939 Holly, S/U's Making Spirits Bright
Card: Whisper White, Vellum
Ink: Stazon Black, Versamark, Real Red, Soft Sky, Pool Party
Markers: Real Red, Garden Green, Chalkboard Pen
Finishing Touches: 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Mini Crystals
Cool Tools: Big Shot, Provo Craft Snowflakes E/Folder, Sponges, Angled Tag Topper Punch, Embossing Buddy, Silver E/Powder, Heat Tool, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots
Thanks for stopping by today.
Hugs,
