Shimmering Santa

One of the new stamp sets in the Holiday Guide is Santa Claus (C1567).  If you love all things Santa like me, then this adorable stamp is a must have!   I used the sketch from this week's Paper Players challenge to create this card.   The masking technique helps to create a Ruby Santa's cap after stamping Santa in Slate ink. The strip across the front of the card is the zip strip from the Sparkle & Shine Paper pack.



Recipe:
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 White Daisy Card
Sparkle & Shine Paper Pack - X716B
Silver Glitter Paper - Z1829
Clear Sparkles 
Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel - Z1313
Stamp: Santa Claus - C1567
Ruby Ink - Z2170
Slate Ink - Z2173
Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Z1686 - <Shape 6> 2 1/4"
Santa Claus (C1567)
