Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
This Santa die had been hanging out in my NBUS box since last Christmas.
It's about time I used it.
I cut a piece of salted watercolor for the background and die cut Santa and his reindeer
twice from a snippet of black cardstock. I glued the two pieces together for
some depth.
The houses were cut from another snippet of brushed silver cardstock. I pressed the
edges of the roofs in VersaMark and sprinkled with a twinkly embossing paste
I found a tiny star stamp and stamped a few stars in the sky and embossed them.
I added a frame from my UFO box and stamped and embossed the sentiment.
Another one for the Christmas stash!

CAS Christmas - Santa

Beautiful salt watercolour background and so perfect for your UFO diecut Santa.
ReplyDeleteThis watercolor salt background is wonderful. Sometimes I observe such a sky in Poland, when planes leave streaks in the sky. The black silhouette of the Santa Claus harness stands out perfectly against this background. I also love the silver edges of the houses, it looks really amazing.
