SantaClaws, North Coast Creations

For this cute Z-fold kitty, I stamped Santa Claws in Adirondack Pitch Black and colored with Copics. The fur on the hat has Flower Soft, the embossing is Gracie’s Frame.

For this one, I decided I’d try a little masking. Again stamped in Pitch Black and colored with Copics. The ornaments also have some metallic gel pen.

I don’t know if you’ll be able to see it, but to make the fur a little more realistic, I took my thinnest piercing tool and ‘scratched’ fur lines after coloring.
