On to my creation!
I think this new little Santa guy from Gail Green is just DARLING! He's got such a bit of whimsy about him and...don't you think Santa should be jumping and dancing and having a blast? This new stamp is called H7648 Santa 4. I stamped and colored him up with Copic markers using E0000 and E50 for the skin and accented his rosy cheeks with RV00 and RV02. Color up his suit with R27 and R29 and belt with a little Y25 and Y28 and last but not least, accent with some Flower Soft Polar White to give his cuffs and little fluff! Layer on some patterned paper cut thanks to a Spellbinders Oval and Big Scallop Oval LG (cut thanks to my Grand Calibur machine) -- add some sparkly ribbon, a die cut tag (Spellbinders Ribbon Tags Trio), some stitching and a sentiment and done! The sentiment is actually part of IO's old Word Windows clear set. I didn't realize it is no longer in production. Sorry!
