Sunday Scrap Page: Sinterklaas

Today i share a page with you about a Dutch tradition

called Sinterklaas. You can read about it here.

It is very much a children's happening

And now with the grandchildren it is very much a fact.

Sinterklaas has arrived from Spain with a boat in 

The Netherlands and children all over put their shoe

out, sing special songs and the next morning find

some candy or a little present in their shoe.

Sinterklaas has helpers called "Piet". They come through

the chimney to deliver the presents, so that is why they

 have these black spots on their faces. Children love 

to dress up as Piet. So that is why I decided to color 

Piet for my scrap page. The head of Piet is from a 

children's color book and his color is made 

with a Michael Strong stamp.

I used the Cloisonné Nonagon stamp. With versamark

 and black embossing powder I stamped it on white

paper and colored all the images with watercolor.

With the head of Piet and the collar from the nonagon stamp

I made 3 figures (Owen and the twin) for the scrap page.

The boys look just too cute! Thanks to my DD for the

lovely pictures.

I also made this page for the color challlenge on

The Daily Marker, 

where you find all the information.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day.
