DYSU challenge #48-Ribbon

So glad to have you back for a new challenge at Do You Stack Up?! This week we have an easy on for you. We want you to use Ribbon (or anything that ties)!

This week's Sponsors:

Stamp Fairy Winner’s Choice of 3 Digis

Copic Marker Scrapbooking 6 Copic Ciao Markers (North/South America), Martha Stewart punch (rest of the world)

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Charlotte with a Rose and Scooter Chloe Rubber Stamps

I used this adorable Santa image from Stamp Fairy for this week's challenge. I did most of the coloring on the computer prior to printing the image. For the first card, I fussy cut Santa, added beads to all the uncolored areas, a bit of glitter to the belt buckle and Glossy Accents to the lights. I'm sure the tree will look much more festive when the lights are added. I used a bit of baker's twine to the top of the tree as the "anything that ties".

I printed the image within a circular Christmas sentiment for my next card. I used a warm grey Copic to color the background of the circle so the white in the image would stand out.  Again, I added Glossy Accents to the lights. I used  a strip of pleated ribbon along the bottom of the image. Same image, two different looks. This Santa was a blast to work with!
