Santa is Coming To Town

Hello, Friends!  Our challenge this week at Cards in Envy is titled "Santa is Coming to Town."  We are making cards that feature Santa!  All our cards are A2 sized and flat.

Here is my card:

A2 sized card = 5.5" x 4.25"

I found this Santa sleigh with reindeer at the Silhouette store.  The moon is simply a circle.  The pine trees and lamp post are also available at the Silhouette store.  My font was computer generated using the Chopin Script font.

The trees in front are mounted on foam tape.

The inside of the card is mostly a repeat of the front with an inclusion of white space for writing.
