Die Cut Swap Santa

This A2 card was made for the Die Cut Swap. The main image was stamped in black. I actually put it on the floor and stepped on it to get a good image (tip for highly detailed rubber stamps). I colored portions of it with prismacolor pencils. I painted fired brick distress stickles over Santa's suit. It has just a little bit of sparkle.

The die cut holly was sent to me by SWLady. Thank you!
I covered the holly leaves with Tim Holtz washi tape, painted with peeled paint distress paint and edged with tarnished brass distress paint. I smeared the green paint with my finger to keep it transparent. The berries were pressed in a versamark embossing ink pad and embossed twice for good coverage with firecracker red sparkle embossing powder.

Stamp : Tim Holtz/Stamper's Anonymous Santa's Letter
Ink : Memento Tuxedo black, Versamark
Stamped on Global Art Materials Kona Classic (kraft looking) paper
Printed Papers : My Minds Eye Lost & Found Christmas

How lucky that my EP matched the glittered printed paper! (See the wavy border over over Santa's head)!

Thanks for this challenge Jan! I've had so much fun cutting dies and being inspired by all of the entries!
