Santa Face & Winter Friends


It’s my honor to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC783) & we’re headed to JRL Interiors (& their Pinterest Board) where I found THIS cute display. The Santa right in front reminded me of this new die set.

Now the dies don’t come w/ a face, but I kept picturing a face for Santa so I added one. I didn’t draw it so much as I just colored an oval die cut in & added the die cut Santa parts. For his face, I started w/ Copics & a lt gray permanent pen around the eyes. I finished shading his face & beard w/ some Prismas & die cut a second beard, cut it in half, & used it for his hair. He’s backed w/ a dk green layer & an off-white deckle frame, then a layer of designer paper. The little circle image was lightly colored in & die cut.

Here are the Copics I used for Santa:

All the details for the Splitcoast December Fan Club Challenge can be found by clicking the blue link. On this card, I stamped the two winter friends, masked them & the snow they’re sitting on & sponged in the sky. The tree & lights were stamped & I used a water brush to lift some of the color around the lights to make them glow.

The snowflakes were stamped w/ the picket fence ink & I added stickles to the lights & snowbank.
