Here Comes Santa Claus

December 25 is a very magical day as Santa Claus and his magical reindeer have left presents for girls and boys!

This card was so fun to make as Santa Claus is one of my favorites!  I started by tearing masking tape and putting the ripped jagged edge towards the bottom.  I layered the tape up to the top of the card.  Then rubbed Old Paper DI and Vintage Photo DI over the masking tape.  It created the cracked background.  Moved Lawn and Tarnished Brass distress paint was lightly painted over the tape.  Post card and December 25 was stamped in Vintage Photo DI. Now on to the  die cut boughs and berries. Santa was colored with Copics and his eyebrows were colored with a white gel pen.  To finish Santa, the edges were brushed with Vintage Photo DI.





Stamps used: MHK Designs, Tim Holtz and a vintage stamp.
