Tim Holtz Santa

 






Hello!

I am delighted to say that I am now a member of the Stamping Sensations Design Team and this is my first contribution.

The theme for November is Christmas and we are looking forward to seeing your lovely creations. 

This month we are sponsored by Be Creative and there will be prizes.

All the stamps I have used are from the Tim Holtz Christmas  set, Mini Holidays.

They have been stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto cream card and kraft envelope.

The main image has been die cut with a Tattered Lace peach sorbet rectangle and before cutting I inked around the cutting edge of the die with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

The red layer has been cut with the next larger die from the same set and I applied DecoArt Metallic Lustre around the cutting edge before cutting.

The base card is a 5x7 inch kraft card layered with some gold embossed kraft card and I also added a strip of this across the centre then attached a little bell charm with gold metallic cord. 

Since Christmas cards are often used to "catch up"  I have left a nice space on the insert for the latest news.

Thanks for looking,

Vee xx
