Believe in the magic - Santa Greetings by Tim Holtz

Hello everyone, finally I had a little time to make a Christmas card. For this I used the Santa Greetings die set by Tim Holtz again. But this time I created a night scene for him. Here is my previous card where you will also find a tutorial of how to assemble Santa. 

I really enjoyed to make the background where I just layered many different shades of the blue. I think I started with Prize Ribbon, then I added some Broken China and Salvage Patina to the moon's corner. I added some Chipped Sapphire to the edges. Then I splattered with white paint. As a final step I blended Black Soot Archival ink to the edges.

For the snow part, I used a vintage white.

As I mentioned at the beginning you will find Santa's tutorial in my earlier blog post.

For the moon I used Antique Linen ink (original and oxide) and Pumice Stone oxide ink. Then I added white paint, to mute the colours. 

The text was stamped with embossing ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder.

For the stars I used silver glitter paper.
