Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!
purpose: this posting features my latest manager/DT project for My Time To Craft Christmas challenge blog
when: #84 theme is non-traditional colors for Christmas/winter holidays starts April 12, 2024 for 13 days of competition
what: Santa's looking charming (pink and seafoam/aqua instead of red and green)
closeup to see the iridescent glitter acrylic paint on the giant white 'snowball'=
notes:
1. seafoam/aqua cardstock square 6" = Art Skills; also the 2 scraps of pink cardstock
2. white gel pen for snow dots on the pink and some by Santa's boots
3. iridescent glitter acrylic paint = Art Skills
4. white cardstock = Pen + Gear
5. black ink pad = Hero Arts
6. die-cuts (light strand, hohoho, Santa, and the pink snow pile) = page pieces partial set = Simple Stories' Holly Jolly collection
7. the stencil used to create the 'snowball'/doily shape = Pebbles (very old set)
8. bright pink checked gingham ribbon = Crafter's Square
