Hope you got plenty of turkey, stuffing, and pie yesterday! Hard to believe that the Christmas season is officially underway.
I have a fun vintage Santa to share today. He is an oldie but goodie from Stampendous. I don't have a particular style when it comes to Christmas cards, but when it comes to Santas, vintage is it!
I stamped Santa on watercolor paper and colored him with 3 Shimmerz Coloringz- Keep Palm, Pink Stiletto and Scarlet's Fever. His beard was done with Angel Wings Shimmerz paint.
I heat embossed the sentiment, which is from MFT, in black embossing powder.
The background was done with the Scarlet's Fever Coloringz. I started out applying the color using the packaging technique, but in the end, using my finger turned out the be the best way for the look I wanted. Once the Coloringz was dry, I splattered white acrylic paint on the background. Once that was dry, I stamped the music from the Sweet n Sassy Stamps Texture Tiles 1 Stamp Set.
Santa was fussy cut out and then popped up on dimensional adhesive. A few sequins were added.
I am linking up to a couple of challenges-
