For the tea potter challenge, layered red paper put through emboss folder onto leopard print onto white card, santa was an almost naked color book find as only boots were colored, used xacto knife to cut along top of suit, beard, legs under belt, and cut leopard background paper to fit and slid up under cuts and glued down, made verse, cat was $1 stamp--had its own hat but used this one instead, used cat paw prints stamp, ribbon, pop ups, inks, colored pencils, stickles.

What a fun Santa all dressed up in his leopard skin - and doesn't he have a helper that beats all the elves hands down for being the sweetest helper you could ask for.

I was just recovering from Kelly's comment about Santa wearing leopard boxers, and then I read your writeup about an almost naked Santa coloring page. I'm so glad you wrapped Santa in a leopardskin suit... not sure my heart could take it. LOL This is a really FUN card!
