Selfie Santa

Hi Everyone, I'm so behind in blog posts, I can't seem to get anything done, plenty of inspiration, but nothing working for me. Until I saw a challenge and a light went on! About time too. Here's my offering.

I printed the image out onto ordinary white card that I'm finding I can paint with my Distress inks. Watercolour card at 300gsm is far too heavy for my printer. I keep promising myself a new printer to print heavy card, but have seen  varying reviews about them.

I went looking for Christmas papers and found what I liked in amongst my files. I printed and cut them with dies and also printed out some sentiments in the files. I then cut the image and as I had printed it too big for the die, I cut it with Santa's boot outside the frame. The image and sentiments were added and 3d'd. I love the happy image. After finishing the card I decided that some 3D gloss would be good on the sentiments, boots and eyes. Well, Santa would polish his boots and his eyes would be sparkly don't you think?

    Well, Faith, you can see that I'm playing catch up again but I've been fighting a cold as well as all the things on my plate getting ready for the First of the Month DT commitments. I adore this darling image. Nothing better than Santa and a snowman. Love your paper choices!
