It's my honor to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC783) & we're headed to JRL Interiors where I found THIS cute display. The Santa right in front reminded me of this new die set.
Now the dies don't come w/ a face, but I kept picturing a face for Santa so I added one. I didn't draw it so much as I just colored an oval die cut in & added the die cut Santa parts. For his face, I started w/ Copics & a lt gray permanent pen around the eyes. I finished shading his face & beard w/ some Prismas & die cut a second beard, cut it in half, & used it for his hair. He's backed w/ a dk green layer & an off-white deckle frame, then a layer of designer paper. The little circle image was lightly colored in & die cut.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ Copics colors & links: The Write Stuff
