Hello there, and happy September! I'm honored to be guest designing with Jo at Christmas Kickstart this month. We're going to have all kinds of fun playing with Santa!
I had a few new-to-me-not-yet-used Santas in my collection, mostly from last year, but one or two from this year as well. I used three of them in an earlier post, and Jo's challenge will see to it that I use the rest of them. Well... maybe with one tiny little Santa left over.
Today I'm using last year's Layered Festive Santa from Memory Box. In fact, all the dies and the sentiment are Memory Box. Everything is listed in the recipe at the end. There are a lot of parts to this guy, but a lot of fun, as well, if you enjoy that sort of thing, and you know I do enjoy it.
All coloring is Copics, except the presents which were cut from designer paper. They're a separate die set and not just for Christmas. With all these parts to deal with I didn't do anything special with the coloring. The die parts are intended to create their own shading.
That's about the gist of it. I do have two posts today, a few hours apart. I'd rather not pile them up on top of each other, but it's just the way it worked out. I hope you'll see both.
Now I'm hoping I'll see your Santa over at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge! Have a happy day!
