Believe in Santa’s Magic

Hello everyone.  The holiday spirit is live and well at Whimsy Stamps (WS) yesterday with their October 10th release.  Christmas is my favourite time of the year, so I am excited for this release!  And no better way to start than to feature the big guy himself from the adorable Santa’s Magic stamp set.

jThank 

Started by stamping the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly cardstock and on masking paper.  Fussy cut out the mask and masked the image.  Masked the moon next with a moon mask die cut from masking paper with a Pierced and Stitched Circles die.  


Tumbled Glass, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot distress inks were then blended on with blender brushes to create the vibrant night sky.  Removed the mask and coloured the image/scene with Copic Sketch markers.  Used a white gel pen to add falling snow.  Die cut Believe word from silver foil and its shadow from Bristol paper, then assembled onto:a white card base to finish.  


Here’s a small sampling of project inspirations from the design team.
