Hello all, I think this is one of my only Santas...it is really old and I don't think it colors up very well.
I don't know if I like this or hate it. I think adding gold leaf and gold paint helped it a bit.
Well, thanks for looking anyway!!

I think it colors up just beautifully with your expertise, Robin! After seeing so many beautiful cards with these vintage Santa's I'm eventually going to have to have one! Love that gold embossed script on the red background! What a beautiful backdrop for your artwork!

Robin, your card looks like a vintage book cover and I love it! You did a great job coloring, as usual, I really like the brown fur of his hat, it adds to the vintage feel. The gold embossed lettering and the cord and tassel finish this of perfectly! Thanks for playing in my challenge and sharing your lovely art!

I think this is just gorgeous Robin. I love the way you have colored this image and I love the colors you used. The gold embossing adds that touch of elegance I love and so does your wonderful tassle. I am so glad you stayed with this wonderful card and decided to post it! ~Karen.

Oh, I love the rich royal colours in this, the purple, red and gold. We're so used to a red Santa, I want to do some research and find what other colours are good for vintage ones.
