Santa's Helper 2

 Good Morning...

I've been playing with Santa's Helper by Tim Holtz....I love this little guy...strange how little things made me happy!...


I started with a 6x6  card....and got some light blue card from stash....as the blue was not the colour i wanted so i got out some Distress oxide in Chipped Sapphire for the background...I cut out the snowflake die in white linen card from Papermill....the die was a gift so no name....the helper i cut a few times in cream and blue all from the bit box and layer him up.....I used flower soft on his trim of his hat and the pom pom....sentiment from Tonic....and some gems...
