I'm working on using up gel prints so I can have another session. This was copper and gold bamboo on a book page. I sponged with a couple of blue distress inks and then stencilled the sparkles (I thought of them as snow, DH thinks they are stars) with white acrylic. In real life you can see some of the bamboo. The sleigh is cut from gold and metallic red, the star from the same gold. I stamped and fussy-cut Santa Bear after colouring him with Polychromos pencils. As an afterthought I tucked the little bear from Santa's Sleigh in - Santa has kept one last toy for himself ;-).

Awesome card, loving the starry sky and the sweet teddy and Santa. I bought a gel plate but haven't used it yet, you have encouraged me to get it out and give it a go!!

So sweet! Darling images, Sabrina, and that background is super fun! Could be stars or flakes (I thought of flakes). Fun!!! Hugz

Well I can affirm how beautiful this is IRL because I am holding it and enjoying how pretty it is right now. The little teddy bear tucked into the sleigh is adorable. I really prefer a teddy santa...it might sound a little grinch like, but the jolly old human santa is a little creepy. The ones in shopping malls always scared me as a kid.one of my favorite things in your cards are how well you add little gold elements...this card just sparkles. I just love it. Thank you Sabrina
