Hello Friends!
I am back today with a Magnolia Santa image. I am getting a pretty good start on my Christmas cards and hope to have them done here real soon. I had a lot of fun coloring Santa up with my copics. I used liquid appliqué on Santa's furry parts (hat and suit trim). I finished the image with distress inks to give it some depth.
I choose MME paper from the Christmas pack for this card, a random button with some twine and ribbon. The tree charm is from Ribbon Girl. The sentiment, by Stampabilities, was dry embossed onto the tag for some extra texture.
The inside is done with MME paper and a spellbinders die cut with a Stampabilities sentiment, Felt with the Heart.
