christmas in the summer

did this for a card club class.  

I bought the stamp at the urging of my husband while in Vegas at the viva las vegas store.  he loves Santa's.  simply stamped added a little color to his cheeks.  sponged the outside then added the holly leaves on this card I punched little red circles for the berries but on another card I used stickle paint and really liked that. I also added a greeting on on ther sample. On this sample which you can't see well I added some liquid glass on the glasses.

i love sponging I think its my favorite thing to do. did this for a women's swap. stamped images by close to my heart in black, sponged with yellow, added some stencil punching (I made the stencils using stampin up punches) and the slide that has the words live fast and stay pretty. You can't see it but there is some sparklies in there too that were added.
