This is for the TSC challenge which was to make a humorous Christmas card with traditional colors.
I love this sweet Santa! The sign around his arm says, "Will Work For Cookies!".
I colored Santa with colored pencils and sponged around the outside with Whisper red ink. I cut out with a rectangular nestie. The dp is from my stash. The "Merry Christmas" is from a DCWV Christmas stack.
I added the plate of chocolate chip cookies (a sticker) that Santa is dreaming about and wishing for. I also added red and green dew drops.
What do you think?

How cute he is with his long legs and cookie belly in that cool scalloped frame. The sparkly due drops and fun too. Well that Santa is just a cookie er hem... I'd leave him a cookie or maybe a low fat brownie.
You heard about my working for Cuttlebug scandal...

Oh what a wonderful saying for Santa munching his cookie such a fun image, I love how you have sponged the color all around Santa and the Jew drops finish it off so brightly reminding me of Christmas lights. lovely card.
