Santa Claus is the subject of these 2 cards. All images were colored with Copic Sketch Markers.
A little bit of christmas history.
At the beginning of the 1930s the Swedish painter Haddon Sundblom introduced Santa's dress code, which has been valid to this day. In the course of a Christmas advertising campaign of the Coca-Cola Company, Santa Claus was dressed in red-and-white clothing, the brand's colour. Ever since, Santa's suit has been red with white fur trim. It were European emigrants who took the character "Santa Claus" with them to America and it was America who introduced a new dress-code to Santa and spread it throughout the world.
all images were colored with Copic Sketch Markers.
Chirstmas tree and Snowman are the main focus points of these 2 cards. Of all the cards that I have made this year for Christmas, which is 50 cards so far the snowman card is the one I least like.
All images were colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

Here are the next two, both were colored with copic markers.
The origin of the Christmas stocking is a tale of a kindly Saint Nicholas. Folklore tells the story of a nobleman whose wife had died, leaving him penniless with three daughters. Left with no money for a dowry, the nobleman was worried about the dowry for his daughters to marry. On Christmas, Saint Nicholas came to their home and saw the girls' stockings hanging to dry above the fireplace. He then filled them with gold and the nobleman's daughters were able to marry.
Versions of this tale have been circulating for decades, each with their own twist on how the nobleman came to be poor or what Saint Nick was doing at their home that night. Regardless of the truth in the tale, it is one that has been told for years across the globe.
It's that time of year ... I am gearing up for the Christmas Card Drive for the Troops. Myself and several other ladies in my scrapbook/cardmaking circle contributes homemade cards each year. My goal for myself is to make 180 christmas cards, 80 personal ones, and 100 going to the card drive. So each day till Christmas I will be highlighting at least 2 cards a day if not more. So for starters here are the first two.
here is another oil painting done by my younger sister, Cathy.
