Vintage Merry Christmas



Good morning! Today I'm playing along with Sparkle's 2010 Christmas Card Challenge #5. Her challenge is to use any kind of buttons on your card. I also used Julee's latest Mojo Monday sketch #119. I pulled out one of neglected stamp sets from Waltzingmouse that I just love ~ does that ever happen to you? ~ you're so excited about a particular stamp set, so you order it, patiently wait for it to arrive, then somehow you don't have a chance to ink it up?!

Anywho, I stamped the largest snowflake from Very Vintage Christmas using Vintage Cream ink onto Vintage Cream cardstock, then I embossed it again with my Cuttlebug Snowflake embossing folder. The sentiment is also from the same set. Finally, I inked the edges and added some stitching to finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

    LOVE this card! Great colors, love the stitching, texture, etc. etc. And, it happens to me ALL the time, I will come across a stamp set and say, Hey I forgot I even OWN that one! Yikes...
