CSCC # 8 -Miracle on 34th Street




Here's my take on Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #8. I haven't seen the movie in years, but the one part I remember is when they brings the huge bags of letters to Santa Claus into the court room. That's my favorite part!

So I found an image online, which I turned into a brownish monochrome, printed out 3 copies, and cut out some of the 'envelopes' onto Very Vanilla cardstock. The I colored in the stamps using mostly Soft Subtles Stampin' Write Markers & distressed the edges with Close to Cocoa.
The 'letters to Santa' were layered using Dimensionals. The Santa stamp is a retired SU! set called Yuletide Montage~ it is very much one of my favorites! What is difficult to see is the white glitter on his hat & beard... also I used my Copics for the first time to color him in. I still need a lot of practice!

With Alex asleep, I think I'll try to eat dinner & stamp a little more. Thank you so much for looking, I really do appreciate it!
