When I saw Mo's Ragged Santa I thought he would work well with a "vintage" look so I set out colouring him in deep sepia tones. I wanted to keep the Christmas fun though so added in touches of red, green and gold - and of course some festive sparkle! To continue the aged look I used the cracked glass techniques over my image - I love the look this gives and it's well worth the effort. There are plenty of tutorials online to help you with this technique - you can check one out HERE by the fabulous Beate Johns - hope you give it a go sometime! I do wish I'd distressed the edges of my papers to compliment the aged look though - ah well - next time!
Copics used - E51, E50, E49, E29, E27, E25, E23, E11, E00, E000, R59, R46, R20, R14, G28, G24, G21, YR23, Y19, Y11, T4, T2, T0
