Santa Chimney

Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! Wow! November already. This year is almost over. Doesn't seem possible, does it?
My card today is the result of an idea that's been roaming around in my head for a while & it finally all came together. I don't know if y'all remember but when this Santa image came out, I made a card & had to color the scene twice because some of it was ruined.( Here's that post. ) Anyway, I think Sue mentioned she thought it would show up in another card. Turns out she was right! I was able to salvage the lower half of Santa & his bag of toys, which I fussy cut. The fireplace was die cut & I used a brick stencil on it. The rest of the brick wall, was stamped, sponged & a few Copics were used to help color in the bricks.
I elevated the fireplace in order to place Santa inside it then attached the brick wall behind it. The lower half of the brick (inside the fireplace) was sponged w/ darker inks to make it fade into the background. I also fussy cut Santa's hat & added it just above the greeting.
Here are the Copics I used. (As for the ones on Santa, you'll probably have to look at the original post.) Below it is the inside.
Supplies:
stamps: DRS Designs - Santa Scene, Christmas to You, Brick Wall (inside: Thinking of You at Christmas, Sm Pine Cone )
paper: Staples 110# white
ink: Memento tuxedo black, Distress inks fired brick, barn door, black soot, antique linen
accessories: Rubbernecker Rectangle Stitch, Fire Place, Christmas Mini dies, brick wall stencil, Copic markers

What a fun card today Julie! Your chimney scene is just adorable and so creative! The coloring on Santa is incredible and I'm so glad you were able to salvage at least part of it! Amazing what you can do with something I would have thrown out years ago!
