Deck the Halls

This is my second Christmas card for the year...and if I don't get a move-along I'll be making cards to send on Christmas Eve!!! I like to send my cards out on 1st December but the last couple of years I've been a bit late...this year is shaping up the same way! I'm going to have to decide on a design and mass produce most of them, just making individual ones for the really special people in my life :)

I've been wanting to make an open book easel card since I first saw one a few months back, so decided to go with that for this card:

I've used Santa from Pollycraft to make a 6 x 4 card...he's been sitting patiently in my stash for a little while, just waiting to be used :)  I really love this image and have been looking forward to colouring him.   The easel cards I've made previously have been 5 1/2" square, so the image was a tad smaller than I'm used to working on lol!  I used some puff paint on his fur trim, the pom-pom and the snow, to give some dimension.  His boots and belt have been glazed so they are all shiny :)  The 'song' is computer generated and printed onto the panel. The sentiment is a Kaiser rub-on.  I've hand drawn the border around the sentiment panel...a FIRST for me :)
