Merry Christmas
Hi there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of antique gold card. I used the star cluster stamp from the Santa Stamp set and inked it with a Clear Perfect Medium pad and stamped it randomly all over the edges of the card. I sprinkled gold embossing powder on it then heated it. I cut two of dies from the Stained Glass Rectangles in white. I backed both of them with black card and matted them together, then added them to the middle of the card with mounting foam. I stamped the Santa from the same set in black. I coloured it with markers and a gold paint pen. I cut it by hand (very easy to do) and added it to the matted rectangles with mounting foam. I used some Fluffy Stuff on his hat and heated it to puff it up. I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the stamp set in black and matted it with gold and black mats. I added it below the focal element with mounting foam. The card was completed with white, gold and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size.

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a lovely stamped image and so beautifully coloured, I am very weak with colouring as my hands shake too much but I certainly appreciate how clever people are who do colour regularly.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
