Penelope Spots Santa

Hey There!

Today, I have a fun Christmas project featuring Make It Crafty Chipboard products and images. 



From the first time I saw this adorable circle shadowbox and the Santa's Sleigh Chippies, I saw Santa flying across the shadowbox opening.

With the release of Christmas Town and Penelope With Teddy digis, the scene was complete. 


Santa was colored using a Gold Paint Dauber.


I added some Magnolia Spruce trees for effect, and finished it off with a frame of lace.

I used the following items on my project...

Magnolia Spruce Tree
Copics
Gold Paint Dauber
Lace
Paper from my stash

Thanks for stopping by!

Dashing Santa

Howdy!
I am continuing to work on Christmas cards as Christmas is right around the corner (can you believe it?)
Today, my card features Dashing Santa Claus from Make It Crafty!

These new Steampunk Santas are so creative and fun. They work so perfectly with Tim Holtz products, giving that old-fashioned shabby look.


Unfortunately, the photography did not catch all the background colors. I used very light yellows, blues and grays to give the sleigh movement.


The Tim Holtz Pinecone Die is so versatile. I tend to make nice vintage flowers with this die.

I used the following items on my project:
Tim Holtz Seasonal papers
Pine Cone Die from Tim Holtz
Copics
Acrylic Piece
Crystal Effects
Alcohol Ink
 Ribbon
Lace
Floral and Branch Punches
Gold Stickles
