Hello! It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This time it is a color combination to inspire us!

SANTA’S DELIVERY
This is the first time I’ve had a chance to use my Santa’s Delivery Suite! But this color combination worked well using the Santa’s Express DSP…and I love this Ho Ho Ho pattern!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Petal Pink cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Ho Ho Ho pattern from Santa’s Express Designer Paper was adhered on top.
- A 1 x 5-1/4 strip of Poppy Parade cardstock was added to the bottom.
- The largest square from Stylish Shapes Dies as cut from Basic White cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The track was cut from Smoky Slate cardstock using the Santa’s Train Dies and adhered across the bottom of the square.
- The train with Santa was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Poppy Parade and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. It was cut with the Santa’s Train Dies and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Black Solid Faceted Gems were added above the smokestack.
- Some gold Simply Elegant Trim was tied in a bow and added to the smokestack with a Mini Glue Dot.

OK! I will admit that this train was much easier to color and work with than I was expecting! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
