It is always good when December rolls around to be able to have some Christmas cards already made. I know I sure appreciate it. I hope you play along with us.
The challenge this month has the optional twist of our favorite jolly man - Santa.
This card uses some very old paper. I am a great believer in using our well aged supplies. The Santa image is a photocopy of a fabric piece with Santa on it. I had one piece left and I did not want to use it and then I had an idea to see how it would copy. It copied wonderfully so I will be able to make more cards with this image.
I distressed the edges of all the paper. The sentiment was heat embossed with dark brown embossing powder. A big twine bow finished off the card.
Here is a close up of the sentiment and bow.
Here is a close up of the image. Isn't it the greatest image - kinda a primitive Santa.
Please come join us at Happy Little Stampers July Christmas Challenge.
There are prizes so you know you want to play along.
