Good morning!
With less than a week to go it's time to announce the impending arrival of a certain gentleman...
Paper: Crate Paper - Hey Santa
Chipboard: Crate Paper - Peppermint (r)
Stamp: Simon Says Stamp - Tiny Words Christmas
Dies: Neat & Tangled - Skinny Strips (r), Pinkfresh Studio - Ornate Oval Frame
Inspired by one of the patterns in the Hey Santa paper pad by Crate Paper, I wanted to use the Ornate Oval Frame from Pinkfresh Studio as a focal point for a slightly more vintage Santa from another Crate Paper collection.
This time a chipboard cut-out from the Peppermint Christmas collection.
It's great to finally use some of these chipboard pieces as I rarely use chipboard on my cards these days.
They've reminded me how easy it is to add dimension, without just using 3D foam tape for anything. Plus this Santa fit perfectly in the frame, even his belly nestled right inside the curve of the frame. Meant to be.
I added a sentiment from the Tiny Words Christmas stamp set – heat embossed in white on Jade cardstock from The Stamp Market – a perfect match for the green in the background to this collection. :)
Finally, for a little extra detail I added black Nuvo drops on the eyes and buttons, and dimensional glitter paint on the pompom of his hat.
And then I stepped away so as not to add anything more that would make it look overly busy. ;)
Happy crafting, until next time!
