Vintage Santa Canvas - with Maja Design
Maja Design has a new collection out for Christmas 2016 called , "I Wish". It's got Maja's wonderful vintage feel with traditional colors that I adore. This month I decided to play along with the Maja Mood Board for November.
I used the Santa image from the ephemera page form Maja Design "I Wish" collection. You can see all the beautiful pages in the collection here.

When I look at vintage Christmas images, I feel the magic of Christmas that I had when I was a child. Christmas is still magical, but the weight of daily worries and the general hustle of life seems to make that magic a bit blurry.
I admit that I need to refocus on the importance of the holiday, the season, and try to live the meaning throughout the year.
My canvas is a small one - just 4x4. I framed it with a silver and antique gold wooden frame which adds to the overall vintage appeal.
I mounted my paper image and the die to the canvas using Modpodge with a matte finish. There are no loose little edges sticking up and this helps to protect the canvas from dusty and dirt so I can display it for years to come.
I used some chipboard pieces that I had. These are Dusty Attic snowflakes that I had in my stash. I dabbed them with ivory paint - but did not paint them completely. Just a dabbing - like a dusting really.
The die I used is from Find It Trading - Precious Marieke Die-Snowflake Circle. It is very delicate and pretty.
