Christmas in July: Santa Gnome


There is another new challenge going on at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity called "Christmas in July".  My project for this one is a Christmas tag I made using the Pompom Gnome stamp and the Bubbles background stamp, both from Lost Coast Designs.

I decided to go with a traditional red and green color scheme for this tag, and started by stamping my white tag with the Bubbles background stamp and some green Distress Oxide ink.  I then randomly colored in some of the bubbles with a red marker and edged the tag with the same green ink.

  Santa was stamped onto white paper with black ink and fussy cut out.  I restamped his hat, cut that out, and affixed that atop the original stamped image with foam tape to give it some dimension.  I colored Santa with Copic sketch markers and attached him to the tag front, using the same foam tape.  Last steps were to add a cotton ball pompom to his hat and some bright red ribbon to the top of the tag.

So dig out your Christmas supplies and show us over on the Portal your Christmas in July projects for a chance to win some free stamps from Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda.
