Mixed Media Vintage Santa Card

Image
By
Christmas Cards are one of my favorite traditions. The vintage Santa digital images are a perfect jumping off point.

Here is what I used:
Digital Image  
Paper  
Dew Drops  
Embossing Powder  
Ribbon    
Ink  
Stickles  
Adhesives  
Gold Leaf  


Using a ruler I placed a few staggered lines and added tape strip for gold leaf.

Gold leaf top and bottom:


Added Dew Drops:

Splattered a few gold ink drops and Stickles over the lines
Creating the Santa took the longest. 
I created a collage over heavyweight paper with the images:

Punched out a circle size:


Taped the edges, filled with melted embossing powder.

Then gold leafed the edges.


Finished with the ribbon and here we have it:



I plan on a few more Christmas inspirational moments this month; join the bestest Design Team for all you need to get into the spirit of the season!
Ciao for now, 
-Trish Alger

    THAT IS GLORIOUS! Your use of the clear emobssing powder is amazing and the simplicity of the ornaments offsets the earthiness of the image.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
