F4A386, CAS438, TLC631, Christmas in July

Photo Details

Poster: Tonda Baldwin

I though this would be so simple. This Santa is a bear to color. I saw a blue Santa on Pinterest I liked and tried to copy it. Having the colors might make the next one easier.

Face: E000,00,51,70, R20 for cheeks and lips
Robe: B41,45,37,39 tip transfer
Fur: W00,0,1,3,5
Beard: C00,0,1,3,4
Tree: Y0000,YG03, G20,24,29,85,94

Horn and trim: E81,84,87

Sorry I forgot to write down the mittens I think they are E81,84 but don't hold me to that.lol

I used snow texture and flicked it onto the image and allowed to dry.

Thanks for looking and commenting.
See ya in the gallery,

Beautiful Christmas card with the Old World Santa image. Absolutely expert coloring of that image. The die cut "frills" add to a frosty feeling.
