It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
Our lovely JoAnne is the hostess this week and she has an amazing color combo for all of us to use! I am certain your first thought is Christmas, but we can't wait to see what you do with this palette!
My card is created on a white card base. I used a piece of watercolor paper and added Emerald Envy and Mint Macaron ink with water. I just let the colors run together to create this background. I trimmed the paper with the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle dies from SugarPea Designs. I stamped the Santa from the stamp set Here Comes Santa Claus by SugarPea Designs and colored him with Copic Markers. The matching dies was used to cut him out. The Beautiful Bauble die was cut using Real Red paper and a white center. I distressed the background and added a snowy hillside for Santa. The sentiment was created with a "merry" die cut. I used red on each side and both colors of green in the middle. there are five layers on the sentiment. Red and White Baker's twine and sparkling clear sequins were added. Some Wink of Stella makes Santa shine.
