Is he hiding or lost?
I choose hiding!
The base card is kraft card stock.
The tres were die cut using Tim Holtz “Pine Tree” steel die.
On each tree I used the outer piece as a stencil with sponges and Distress inks (forest moss, ground espresso and picket fence) to color them.
The base card was done the same way using the outer pieces of the die cuts as stencils.
The Santa (unknown company) was stamped with Distress ground espresso Archival ink, colored with Faber Castell Polychromos and cut out with scissors.
I antiqued him with Distress vintage photo ink.
Next I laid everything’s all over the card and started glue dotting the pieces on.
I found this easier than trying to glue them as I changed things around as I went!
Fabulous card - I love the trees and your vintage Santa, Jo x
