Inspiration: Sketch Saturday #539 + The Paper Players #418 (Poppy Parade + Smoky Slate + So Saffron)
I wanted to use the Signs of Santa stamp set some more so I pulled it out with the matching Santa's Workshop Designer Series Paper. I then noticed that if I only pulled out the red papers from the pack, I could use this week's Paper Players color combo. Red. yellow and grey is an unusual color combo for Christmas, but by keeping red the main colour and using the other two as touches, I find that it works out pretty well. I used the Swirls & Curls embossing folder behind Santa for a windy night king of look, and I used the adorable Santa crest in the top corner to fill in the space. matching enamel shapes were also used (snowflakes and little bow). The images were colored using the Stampin' Blends markers. I'm really excited that we're starting to have a more complete range of colours, which offers more creative freedom. For the circle, I used vellum, which allowed me to mimick the sketch without distracting from the design and adding more colour.
