Our last challenge of 2025 at TRY IT ON TUESDAY is called 'All About Santa'
This was one of the quickest cards to come together and is a complete change to my usual Christmas cards.
I had a roll of corrugated cardboard bought for a group project and despite the group using it I still have lots left so here it was used as a backing for my Santa.
I spattered it liberally with a white Posca pen before sticking it to the base card.
The Santa image was part of a pad of vintage Christmas papers.
I distressed the edges, used some Antique Linen DI and matted it onto a piece of dark red card, before adding a few more spatters around Santa's face.
A couple of dies, a scrap piece of ribbon and an off cut from another vintage paper to make the tag before finishing with the fabric flower.
Thanks for looking and I hope your Christmas preparations are going well.
The TIOT team is back on 6th January with a brand new challenge so I wish you all a very happy and peaceful Christmas and may 2026 be a good year for us all. x
