It is time for another two-week challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow called VINTAGE CHRISTMAS. We want you to make vintage or shabby chic Christmas cards, table decorations, ornaments or decor items.
Avril Branthwaite is joining us as a Guest Designer for this challenge so pop over to her blog and check out her work and make her feel welcome.
This card was so easy to make and is thin enough that I should be able to pay regular postage for it. I started with Staples card stock for the card blank and then added a couple of background paper from Summertime Designs. The sentiment is computer generated.
Next I printed the Santa image that I found online but now can't find in my computer so I apologize for not giving proper credit. The Santa panel was embossed it with the Cuttlebug Snowflakes embossing folder and Tim Holtz Circle Diffuser. The snowflakes were cut on my Cameo and I added some gems from my stash. Everything was inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink from Ranger.
Finally, I added a double bow of organza ribbon that I bought at Michaels.
I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:
