Ho Ho Ho - Pink Santa

 I know my card is made using unexpected colors for Christmas (?!)  -  but I made it for the Splitcoaststampers Tuesday Color Challenge that included the option of making it Christmas in July.

I used a recently purchased Make a Wish Arch Labels die set from Spellbinders for all the framing.  The Santa is a  vellum die cut from Taperlogy, attached to the white panel with glue dots.  The sentiment is a printed and die cut  Subsentiments Christmas set by Waffle Flower and the snowflakes are from Simon Says Stamp.

To make the panel into a folded card -  I die cut the largest frame again, out of white card stock, scored a horizontal line about 2" down from the top and adhered it to the top of the front panel so the card stands up.

Dare to Get Dirty Post #6

Today I'm sharing the last 10 cards I made for the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.  

Challenge:  No Tools Allowed - Use your fingers

For my background, I rubbed Crackled Texture paste over a white panel, sprinkled it with Distress Glitter and let it dry. Then pressed the panel onto my craft mat where I had spread Distress Oxide inks that were spritzed with water. After drying that with my heat tool, I rubbed Distress Vintage Photo over the top with my finger to accent the crackle. I die cut the Hello 3 times and adhered it over the panel.

Challenge:  Be inspired by two Pinterest Boards (floral or Christmas)
 I antiqued my Vintage Santa by stamping him in Potting Soil ink and then sponging around him with Ranger Distress Tea Dye and Old Paper Inks. I then flicked water from the palm of my hand onto the panel to get waterspots. I added a sticker sentiment and a little holly sprig cut from a larger sticker from K and Co. I used a Copic to give Santa his pink cheeks!
