Christmas Santa Tag

Merry Christmas,

Here is a tag I made using a Santa image I fussy cut out of a 12 x 12 sheet of Santa images.

I used a tree paper for the background by Basic Grey. 

I added Santa on top. There were already white snow splotches on the image, so I took Scribbles paint in white and went over them and added some all over the background. 

I added a large snowflake die cut to the corner and printed the sentiment in red ink from Simon Says Stamp. 

I added Stickles to some of the white parts of his outfit.

I used a white glitter ribbon for the top.

Thanks for having a look.
