Santa's Coming!

Santa  Claus parades have been cancelled this year because of the pandemic. Where I live, there have been a number of fire departments, businesses and not for profit groups that have chosen to do a drive by Santa "parade" because they didn't want the kids to miss out on this event. 

Santa and a few of his elves are escorted either on a firetruck, a float or in a vehicle to different streets in town to give the kids some candy and pick up their letters to Santa. Rumor has it Santa will write back to them - cool right?! 

Road Trippin' Santa from High Hopes Rubber Stamps reminds me of the 2020 version of the Santa parade. He has the coolest car doesn't he?! and it's a convertible to boot! 

I stamped and coloured this fun Santa with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut him. I added Stickles to his hat and silver Wink of Stella to the rims, present bows and the swoop on his car. I set that aside and cut out the sky using a licence plate die. I added some houses and snow banks to create my scene. Next I stamped the sentiment, mounted it on matching card stock and tucked it under the patterned paper. A bow and enamel dots finish off my card.
