I just got this beautiful set! Love the Santa, of course - and really loved the script Believe and Ho stamps. Now that I have the Santa, I am trying to color and loved your expertise - beautiful!
How did you do the facial hair - was it with the liquid applique - and if so, it doesn't look as if you heated it and made it poofy?!
Anyway, the fact is, you did an amazing job! Well done!
