Hello everyone: With the Holidays upon us it's a great time to make a few more Christmas cards, you can never have too many, that's what I always say.
So the RETRO RUBBER CHALLENGE has a new one for you and has this beautiful image to inspire you to come and play along.
I know it's a busy time of the year but still, we hope you all come and join us in our gallery.
Here is my card for this challenge.
This pretty image is from a Power Poppy set called Spice it Up which was released back in 2015 and that's how long I've owned this gorgeous set.
I stamped the image with Versafine black ink, clear heat embossed it and colored it with SU markers.
The sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up! set called "Joy to the World", it came out back in the 2013-2014 Holiday Mini Catalog, I heat embossed it in gold.
I grabbed a Snowfall embossing folder for the front panel and wrapped a golden ribbon for a bit of sparkle.
****************************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The sentiment is from the same set and the little mug from another Power Poppy set called "Merry Littles, this set is perfect for embellishing the inside of your Holiday cards.
So I hope you go and dig out your OLDER THAN ONE YEAR stamp sets and come to join us in the gallery, we can't wait to see what you create.
Don't forget to stop by my teammates' blogs for more fabulous inspiration.

I love this set, and how pretty it looks with the embossing and the gold braid trim! Cute sentiments with this set, too. Perfect inside with the Merry Littles mug. I pull out my Merry Littles a lot for things like this. Your coloring of the orange pomander is beautiful, Maria!
As always, your colouring is impeccable. The snowy embossing is perfect. Have a lovely Christmas, Maria and I wish you an amazing 2019 to follow.
Maria, your colouring always makes me want to come to your house for a lesson!!! I love this card, the embossed background works so well and I love that teeny piece of braid. Cx
