Christmas in July

Hey everyone...
I'm back!!  and with a Christmas card... my goal is to get all my cards done before December - one can dream right!!  speaking of dreaming... this little guy is dreaming of Christmas - it is an older stamp of Stamping Betty - i love her stamps.  This was my first set and I won them from her must have been over a year ago but that was how I became hooked!  she is such a great artist!!
Anyhooo... back to the card...
I used liquid applique from ctmh to get the puff on his hat and the santa stamp is from CTMH
the background was misted and I used a piece of velum that I have had for eons!!
and some close ups.. 
 ohhh can't forget about my stickles
close up shot of the hat 
in the below pic you can see the flurry of embossing! 
and my full card again!
Of course it wouldn't be me with out my challenges!  seriously you all inspire me so much!
