Products Used: Prism Papers, Offray Ribbon, brad by Spare Parts (PaperStudio), Making Memories Paint, I Kan Dee chalks, White Souflee Pen, Tim Holtz Distress Ink by Ranger, Background stencil by Plaid, Luminarte Twinkling H2O�s, and MW Gigi Font Instructions: I stenciled the background on the green Paper with Distress Ink. I drew a pattern for the Santa, tore the edges of all of the pieces except the face and hat. I also tore the beard. Then I made small tears around the edges of the hat band, the words, the ball at the end of the hat, the moustache, and the words. I sponged the edges of the pieces with the Distress ink then ran a stencil brush over the edges to make the small tears show up. I chalked the face, painted the eyes, high-lighted the different areas with the Twinkling H20�s and the Souflee pen. Then I put it all together and added a ribbon to the hatband.
