Jolly Santa in Red

I’m so in the Christmas groove I can’t handle it!! And there are no two stamps sets that make a more festive combo than the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous sets – Jolly Santa and Perfect Plaids.

I started with a green card base and took some red card stock and stamped one of the plaid stamps in black. I die cut this using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles and adhered it to the card. I also stamped the border image and adhered that along the edge.

I used a couple of different green cardstocks and die cut a variety of sprigs from the Large Funky Festive die set by Tim Holtz Sizzix and arranged them behind the big Santa image which was stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and coloured with Distress Watercolour Pencils.

For my card today I used the gorgeous Hero Arts Glorious Petal stencil and combined it with Distress Oxide Inks and clear embossing over the top. I started by brushing Cracked Pistachio over the centre area and brought in some Worn Lipstick just around the outside edge. With the stencil still in place I pressed some Versamark ink over the top. I removed the stencil and sprinkled the card with Wow Clear Gloss embossing powder and heated it. For the panel across the top I die cut a strip of white card with the largest of the scallop edge dies from Simon Says Stamp. I then used Cracked Pistachio and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink again to stamp the Happy and Everything from Sentimental Too from Avery Elle. To finish I added a few drops of Nuvo Jewel Drops.
