For today's Color Challenge, CC193. I colored the image of Santa with Copic Markers and then cut him out, along with the background panel, using Spellbinders Petite Ovals. I sponged all the edges of the paper with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and in particular the red paper. It was just too bright and I wanted a more aged look. I found a chipboard star and misted it with Vintage Photo/Gold Pearlized Distress Mist and then inked the edges with more Vintage Photo. Two holes were punched in the star to tie ribbon through and then it was mounted on the front of the card with mounting tape. Instead of sewing today, I felt a little black faux stitching was called for.
