Twas The Night Before Christmas

is the theme for last weeks sketchie challenge over on the  CMLI group (see side bar) on Craftbubble. Everyone came up with lovely ideas  and i opted for Santa (in the absence of any other appropriate stamps). I was very late again and just got it in before yesterday's new sketchie was out! This is my first attempt at using distress inks and a watercolour brush. The colours were not as strong as they could be and i did have some bleeding between colours...ah well it was my first time! Hope you like it :)
