Hey Lovely Blogging Buddies....
I'm back yet again!! This time I have a lovely little Santa to share with you! But he's in a bit of a difficult situation to say the least... he's got himself stuck!! I hope no-one lights a fire in the hearth - or he'll jump out fast!!
I tried another snowy sky - this time I used Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks, with a little Scattered Straw around the chimney. Again, I tried the splatter technique with my white paint - but I'm still not happy with the result.... one day I'll get it right! He looks like he's in a bit of a blizzard this time! I've tried to make the glittery base of the card look like a roof full of snow so the chimney is sticking up from it... not sure that's succeeded either! But it's all sparkly and that makes me happy....

ReplyDeleteThis card makes me happy too Christine :-) For starters, the image is so cute and fun...poor old Santa...one too many mince pies - lol!
ReplyDeleteThen there's your beautiful design with that gorgeous inky sky, which definitely counts as a work of art all on it's own and makes me both happy and inspired.

Haha!, fab fun card, love the image and the blizzard makes me feel all Christmassy, as long as it doesn't happen IRL of course, then it wouldn't be so fun. Hugs, Colette xx
