Santa is stuck! Oh my. Poor Santa. Or even worse, poor ME! What if he ate too many cookies and can’t make it down my chimney? Gasp! In today’s video, I’ll be sharing a little airbrushed background to add behind the scene….unfortunately it’s not a solution to helping him deliver gifts, but we gotta work with what we have, right? LOL!

Awesome video. I can’t believe how much Santa’s beard changed…originally looked purple, but by adding the background the beard’s color is perfect, very inspiring, thank you.
Yup, you were right. The purple-ly blue disappeared after the other colors were added and it did look white. 😉 Very cute card! Thanks for the chance to win. 🙂
I love watching you coloring expecially with copics. The blue on the beard is perfect and really reflects the night scene! Great stuff Sandy thank you for sharing your artwork!

Sandy, I think your videos and examples of your techniques are so helpful. I’ve taken your copic jumpstart class from you and have it most helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to fully explain, and share your artistic talents with all of your followers.
I especially like your dark night skies.
beautiful! That beard is amazing, you were so right! I also love the dimension in the chimney.
Your work always amazes me, this card tho takes me back to my childhood. Love how you created the sky background. I think I might be able to do this (with a lot of practice) Cindy Mayol
Great video! I love to do backgrounds with the airbrush but, not the making of mask…this fixes that. Sandy you inspire me to try new colors. Thank you!
This is SO CUTE! I would love to try this. Thanks for the chance to win!
I always love getting a notice that you’ve posted a new video!! Of course that always leads to 45 min binge on your channel lol. I would love to try this airbrush system but it’s so pricey…
Thanks as always for the inspiration. I don’t think there is a medium you haven’t mastered!!
Such a great card. I love watching you bring the characters to life and how you make the backgrounds pop! I have learned so much from you! Thanks for sharing your gift!
I continue to be amazed by your work – truly a gifted artist. I participated in your Copic series so seeing these videos really provides constant learning opportunities. Thank you for all you share!!

Sandy, your bricks just jump off the chimney, they look so real! Thanks for teaching us how to get the glow!

I imagine Santa does get tired on his Trip Around the World in one night. Cute stamp.
Such a fun card! Awesome colors and details! *Love* that cute Santa!

Seeing IS believing…a purple beard CAN look white.
I can’t seem to get my skies to look so nice & (can’t find the right word!) smooth looking; of course, mine will never look as good as yours!!
Love your coloring.
I just love your coloring of this adorable image. Your technique with the bricks makes them look real!
