The background paper was made in the Gypsy using the George and Joys of the Season cartridges. I just used a rectangle from George and a holly image from Joys of the Season. I kept welding the holly onto the square. NOTE: When going to cut an image like this with many welds, it may take longer for the Gypsy to load.

I wanted the background to be thick like chipboard. After trying the cut with chipboard I realized there were just too many fine cuts for chipboard. I ended up cutting it four times out of green paper for layering.

I glued the fine parts of the image together with Zig two-way. It worked great! The paper was then inked with using the Tim Holtz applicator to add dimension. The Graphic 45 papers were inked with Color Box ink.

I used 3 sheets of the Graphic 45 paper. I cut away different parts on each paper for layering.

3-D Glue Dots were used to layer the cuts on top of one another.

Glimmer Mist was sprayed on both the background paper and the Santa image when completed. I love the slight shimmer it gave without taking away the Old World feel of the papers. Note: If I did this project again, I would spray the images before glue dotting. This way I could flatten the papers while drying. The Glimmer Mist did warp the papers a bit, but I didn\'t want to flatten my design.

Circles of ribbon were used to make the loopy look on the project.
