I first made a template from the Puffy Cloud Border and then sponged a light blue ink for the background. Basically when it comes to using inks that's the only skill I have. For the Santa I die cut once in flesh card stock, then for the coat once in red card stock and then in glitter card stock for the coat trim. I created the chimney using the square and then embossed it with a brick pattern, I added a glitter card stock icicle. I used a piece from the Santa hat for the collar on the deer, and deckle scissors for the snowdrift. The Santa sack was just a picture I found and cut out.
