Here's a quick and simple card for the current Festive Friday challenge:
This is not an original idea - there are lots of cards out there that looks like Santa's coat. I've probably done one myself! But doesn't that red look just like velvet? That's because it is! I found a scrap of red velvet paper that I've had for years and thought that Santa's suit would be the perfect way to use it. No black leather or brass for the belt, though! lol!
Don't forget that the deadline for this challenge is coming up on Wednesday. Hope to see you there!
This is sooooooo COOL! If you don't mind, I may have to use this design for some Christmas cards this year. I love how it's flat but has all that yummy velvet texture and the shiny belt buckle. Great for mailing!
ReplyDeleteAw...how AWESOME is this, Ardyth! It's so perfect in every way! I think once you have the pieces all cut out, it's such an awesome design to be mass-produced?! Just a thought :) Love this to pieces!
ReplyDeleteSimply gorgeous, Ardyth! The velvet adds a touch of elegance. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBefore I scrolled down to see how you made it, I wondered if it was velvet or if you had used some special technique. Love that it's velvet! What a fantastic card! Instantly recognizable and totally fun. Love this. Bev
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea :)if a card is graphic with a brilliant idea, it sure has to be yours :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is fantastic. Just made me smile thinking of Santa's big tummy :) Awesome card xx
ReplyDeleteHa just love it! what a great Santa card!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Santa card Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteSuch a clever idea Ardyth - made me chuckle! Just wouldn't be the same if Santa went on a diet!
ReplyDeleteOh la la...love the velvet! Such a fun card Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this one. So bold and perfect. And I knew right away it was velvet paper! I am so sorry I haven't posted yet - it's been one of those days...!!
ReplyDeleteVelvet paper?! That's a genius invention, I want some! Love this fun little Christmas card ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome, love the LUXE PLUSH look of your velvet coat!

This card is so fun! Anyone and I mean anyone would love to get this in the mail! Wow!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!! And I've got some red velvet paper. Somewhere..
ReplyDeleteThat velvet paper is so perfect! Such a fun and fuzzy card!
ReplyDeleteYou had me fooled! At first glance, I was sure it was velvet....then thought about who I was visiting and figured it had to be sponged! Wrong!
ReplyDeleteIs there a better way to showcase this fabulous piece of paper? Nope. Santa's coat is the only way! Love the buckle too :)
What a fun way to use that piece of velvet paper! The belt and buckle look just fine. In fact that buckle is so shiny! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteSimply perfect! Wish I thought of it!
ReplyDeleteI did look like velvet ... but then I was thinking, wait, is she trying to trick us and this is some sponging technique? Perfect use for your scrap of velvet!
ReplyDeleteso perfect! love your creative mind :)
