I used the Deep Red Vintage Santa stamp. I coloured the image with alcohol markers - they are not my strong point so just used them like markers without any shading. I do like the vibrant colours you can get with them and the way all the details and shading on a stamp will show through them. There was a black blob below Santa's hand (actually the bowl of his pipe but by the time I realized that, I'd already added a bowl up next to his hand). So to cover up the blob below his hand, I used a TH remnant rub over it. It also takes care of adding a sentiment! I die cut just the inner circle of the image as I made a mess of colouring the surrounding area of the image. For the background, I recycled the back of a commercial card I received last year.

I love your vintage Santa and that wonderful zig zag paper.

What a wonderful vintage Santa - and so lovely in his vibrant colors! Great save on the pipe incident (!) and so fun you could recycle a card for the back panel!
