This image from Bugaboo Stamps “Tropical Santa Surfing” was one of my favorite to play with this past year so I had him colored ahead.
He was printed onto white card stock, colored with Prismacolor pencils, artist stumps and Gamsol, then trimmed out with scissors.
After die cutting a tag from white card stock using a die from Sunny Studios “Build-A-Tag #1” set I glued him to the tag.
With a 1/8” circle punch I made a hole in the Santa image where the hole was in the tag and threaded black Scrappers floss.
On the back of the tag I stamped the sentiment (unknown company) with MFT extreme black hybrid ink.
I cut a circle using a die from Lifestyle Crafts nesting circles into scrap paper and used it with Distress chipped sapphire ink and a makeup brush to stencil the sky on a white card stock base card.
Finally I foam taped the Santa to the base card.
