This is a project from the archives . . . I created this framed art last November for my last month on the SplitcoastStampers.com Design Team. It's an 8" x 8" black shadow box frame from Target.
I adore vintage Santas, especially this Stamper's Anonymous/Tim Holtz one with the Silent Night hymn/carole in the background. Santa image was stamped in burgundy craft ink and once dry, colored with pastels and a Q-tip for a soft, vintage look.
Poinsettias were cut from Stampin' Up's 2006 Holiday Thyme DS paper and were layered/stacked with dimensionals. There are gold glass beads in the center of the large poinsettia.
Hodgepodge hardware sentiment frame was dipped in black embossing powder (heat first, then dip in powder and reheat again -- powder will stick and emboss just fine!) to match black Vintage brads. Tiny sentiment in the frame says Merry Christmas.
I hope you all enjoy your holiday!
