He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf

I’ve made only one Christmas card with a hand coloured image this year and I’ve used No Peeking from Kraftin’ Kimmie for it.

This card is for a crafty friend who I know will appreciate the extra effort, I’ve even personalised it with the message I foiled on the card.  Although I’m thinking a less fancy font would have been easier to read!  As this is going out to a special person I am entering it in the current challenge at Moving Along with the Times.

To make up my card I have followed the current sketch at Cheerful Sketches.  I love using layers and have made mine up with the papers that came in the No Peeking Kardmaking Kit from Kraftin’ Kimmie with the stamp.  I just swapped out the cream card base from the kit for black and also double matted my designer paper elements using cardstock from the kit and more black.  The sketch had no embellies but I added an extra Christmas touch with some holly and berry and used a fancy circle die for some added interest.

Over at Colouring in Scrapland they are looking for Christmas projects so I am entering this card in the challenge.  Loved colouring up this adorable image although I did trim off the added bits of the table and wrapping paper etc as it didn’t fit the sketch design.  I also went with green for Santa’s shirt instead of red as the colour combo I used is my friend’s all time fav.
