shirtless santa

Hello Friends, How are you? I’m making a mad dash from the kitchen to post these super quick cards I made for “A Blog Named Hero” Dear Santa Series. This week it’s quick cards and that was a challenge for me but, I loved that I was able to do it. 
You will find that if you add just a tad of blending that you can color pretty quickly. Doesn’t this santa from Jane’s Doodles rock? I thought it would be fun for a shirtless santa? I was tempted to add a belly button but, opted out of that lol. Hero Arts new “Thank You Blackboard” stamp is perfect for a quick card. I used this Luxe ink for a bright cheery red background. 
If you want to make an even faster card cut the image in half!! This die cut can be for you project lifers or an awesome background. I layered the die cut several times before popping my image onto the card. 
If you are muffin lover I just posted Cranberry Orange Muffins on KathyDishes.com. Have an wonderful Thanksgiving if you are in the USA. Hugs and Peace, Kathy
P.S. A big thanks to A Blog Named Hero! I had such fun creating for their Hey Santa feature. Check out the other quick cards here on their blog.
