I love these vintage Santa images and I probably have about 4 different stamps Vintage St. Nick. This one is from LaBlanche and worked well with the sketch.
I stamped him with Archival ink and colored him with STAEDTLER Karat Aquareall watercolor pencils and a waterbrush.
I added a splatter with a mix of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Patina and Ranger Spray - Silver. The Joy to You is an old stamp from Hero Arts stamped in Ranger Archival Ink. I layered in a few stars, feathers, and some swirly branches.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteI like the sparkle and softness of your card and especially admire the frayed edges of the borders. Such a simple technique with great impact here.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Suzz! I love all the light layers and distressed edges combined with the sparkly stars and soft feathers, yet St Nick is still the star of the show! Thanks so much for playing along at the Mixed Media Card Challenge :)
