Well me making a Christmas card this early in the year is nothing short of miraculous.
However when I saw that the new challenge theme over at Sugar Creek Hollow was to make a Vintage Christmas card, I had to give it a go.
The paper layers are Graphics45 on to a cream base card, For one layer I used a Martha Stewart branch punch , but its sort of blended in. The image is a Paper Artsy stamp, I think he looks real jolly Santa.
All the shading was done with vintage photo distress inks.
The Secret Crafters Saturday challenge No 147 is Christmas is Coming, so He will be making an appearance over there as well.
Thankyou for stopping by to take a look I realy appreciate your comments.
Ho ho ho! You have started early! I promise year for year that I will start early, but never do. Lovely, cheerful card! Hugs, Valerie
