Today I am playing along with
CAS Christmas November challenge - Santa. I have a couple of large Santa face stamps and so I thought to reduce the size.... I die cut a circle in paper (I use a thin metallic paper, it's great for stamping and sponging as it doesn't absorb the ink) and positioned the negative over my cream card panel and used brown ink to stamp the image, so he has a a nice trimmed off beard. Then I used Distress Inks to lightly watercolour parts of the image. I used a mix of silver and sparkly gold embossing powders with my stamped sentiment and to finish the card used a brown card layer onto a cream card. Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend.
What a beautiful Santa face, Robyn! Your wartercoloring the image and the background with a light touch makes him look so gentle. Using the metallic die-cut circle negative as a mask is a clever idea to trim off his beard. Thanks for sharing the beautiful smile at CAS Christmas!
