Santa's Hat

Hello Everyone, 
Sorry I haven't been visiting your blogs over the last few days, unfortunately I haven't been very well. Starting to feel a little better now. I was supposed to be doing a craft fair today, but luckily Emma stepped in to do it for me, and did really well! I think I will have to send her to do all my future fairs!

Anyway, I had a little Penny Black hedgy already coloured up and a box of die cut bits so I thought I would just sit and chill out for a while.

I've used a wooden Penny Black stamp called Santa;s Hat.
I've coloured him with promarkers, fussy cut him and attached with 3D foam pads. The background paper is from Craft Creations. I've used a Punch board to cut the gift bag, a Creative Expressions winter tree die and a die namics picket fence die. 

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
