Santa's New Friend

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I recently won the random draw at ABC Christmas and Lynda sent

me some Gerda Steiner Christmas stamps.  

It didn't take long to ink this one up.

I colored the image with Copics and fussy cut them out.

Unfortunately I got a smudge of black on Santa's beard during the cutting.

I tried the 0 marker but it doesn't remove black any better than it removes red!

I hated to ditch it so I tried some white Gouache over the smudge.

Then Santa had a pink splotch on his beard.

Some more Gouache and homemade Flower Soft (made from rubbing

two Styrofoam balls together), I was able to cover up the oops.  And I used the 

leftover Gouache for splatter.

Challenges:

ABC Christmas - H is for Hat

Jingle Belles - The Man with the Bag (in this case he's put down the bag to enjoy the kitty)
