This week Amy is sharing the Smile Mercantile Craft Co. Site and Pinterest Boards for the Inspiration challenge this weekend and I happened across this Santa hat card where the fur trim had become gems instead of fur so, that caught my eye.
So I sketched a hat outline with a red watercolor pencil on some Tim Holtz watercolor paper.
And I filled it in with some Daniel Smith watercolor paints and waited for it to dry. I had considered die cutting this panel smaller and gluing the gems and pearls to it but, it dried pretty wrinkly so, I ended up cutting it out with scissors.
I ended up putting some foam pop dots under the hat panel and that put it at a level closer to the height of the gems and pearls added to where the fur trim would be. I glued this to a piece of white wood grain printed paper that had been diecut with a stitched square die that would fit into the space of an PTI tag square tag die. The No Peeking here was stamped and diecut sometime last year when this came out during one of those Tim Holtz / Simon Says Stamp classes happened. ( I've forgotten the details but, if I get some time I will try to hunt down the set name and would edit) I wanted the fibers to sparkle so I found this mesh sparkly red fiber in a baggie and added some May Arts iridescent cord to that. That's about it from me. I appreciate the time you took to read this, if you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at Splitcoaststampers. Thanks for stopping by.
