Santa Claus is coming to town!

Hi there, another Christmas card from me today, this one is for this week’s Wild Orchid Crafts Challenge

The image was coloured with copics, and I even had the colours written on a post it note attached to the back, woooo get me …. organised or what lol

Skin: E11, E00, E000, R20
Beard: C1, C0
Reds: E19, R29, R24, R22 and Tuscan Red pencil
Black: C7, C5, C3 and Black pencil
Browns: E57, E55, E53, E40 and Dark Umber pencil
Greens: YG99, YG93, E81
Shading: BG000, E40, BG0000

I even managed to decorate the inside following the layout on the front of the card, and now that I have actually got space for my sewing machine even that got put to use

The lace started off life white, but I spritzed it with a mixture of Tea Dye and Walnut Stain to give it a vintagey look to match the papers.
