DT Card - Cards for Men Challenge #23

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well and enjoyed the weekend.
 Today starts a new challenge at Cards for Men and the theme is Christmas.
Our lovely sponsor this week is Scribbled Kidz. 
I've used a digi called Dear Santa that can be found here.





I recently received my first order from Papertrey Ink and couldn't wait to use these lush dp's on my card.  Their vintage cream is such a lovely colour and is a perfect match to this pattern paper called Holiday Flourish & Swirls.

The Christmas postmark is from LOTV.  Dear Santa created in Word and the charm is from my stash.

Coloured with Copics
Paper pieced his pj's



I would like to enter the following challenges:
Winter Wonderland Challenge - For a Child
Crimbo Crackers Challenge #54 - Christmas Words
ABC Christmas Challenge - V or Vixen
One Stitch At A Time #189 - Holidays

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Your lovely comments are always appreciated.
hugs,
Pat K xx

Lurve those papers Pat - just brilliant for a Christmas card. I really like the fact that you have paper pieced his pyjama top - this looks really good. Great little reindeer on there as well.

What a sweet Christmas card for a boy! I love that you have given him a paper pieced pyjamas with spots, and the "dear Santa" sentiment fits this image perfectly!

Wow Pat - this card is wonderful - it's got a 1950's feel about it with those gorgeous papers. Oh, the expression of concentration on the little boy's face as he writes his letter to Santa is priceless - your colouring is awesome and paper piecing so exact and effective. This card is packed full of charm. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)
