I made these cards for DH to take to work for his guys. They inspect and repair helicopters. Santa has just dropped off the presents and is taking off to deliver more.......I guess Santa's sleigh was in the shop!!!! LOL!
I used Inkadinkado stamp for the trees and heat embossed them with green ep. I used a Studio G acrylic stamp for the title and heat embossed in red ep. I used the red and green present eyelets from AC Moore. The helicopter is a Jolee's. I drew and colored the little Santa with colored pencils. Cute out and placed in the helicopter. The dp is from my stash.
What do you think?

I think this is positively fantastic! Oh, how appropriate for guys that work on helicopters. Oh, I would love to hear their comments. This is really outstanding. Love the bg you've so skillfully created.

That is just fabulous!! My husband is an aircraft mechanic - and I do know that helicopter pilots and mechanics -at least those that work up in the bush - have a dangerous and skilled job! This is a wonderful and fun card! Love the brad!!
