This is a photo that I took way back in Dec. of 2003 of my sister-in-law's animated santa (battery powered and his arm holding the light moves up and down...) I had always wanted to do something (Xmas card) with it but didn't know what. That was before I was introduced to Stampin' Up. Now that I have some stamping experience under my belt, I've finally started to experiment with this photo. (I've printed and trimed some more of him and am going to try some more/different layouts.) It's a black and white photo, and I colored/highlighted his face with SU pastels (creamy caramel, Real Red, and summer sun) There is crystal effects on the holly( I colored with markers beforehand-old olive and real red) and there is photo corners in two of the corners. The shimmery blur to the left is ivory organdy ribbon.
