A Very Vintage Christmas!!

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like to make Christmas cards throughout the year, and Christmas cards challenges are a great way to add to your Holiday stash so, that when December comes along, you don't have to be scrambling to make your cards for family and friends.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the inside.




And this is what I used.

SU "Father Christmas" (2016 Holiday Mini)
Power Poppy "Spice it Up" (2015)

I would like to play with these challenges.





I was inspired by the word "Vintage", and the colors red and green.

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, I appreciate them so very much.

Until next time, stay healthy and safe.

XO
Maria.

Whoa! This came together wonderfully! I love the sketch! What a wonderful vintage image paired with this ivory ornament paper! Stunning use of inside stamping where is the filigree bracket stamp from? Reminds me of ornamental woodwork in the doorways of some 1800’s Victorian homes my town is lucky to still have around!

Maria, this is a lovely card using St Nick. I love the design papers you've used and your embellishments. I can't believe we are at the end of April already it won't belong and Christmas will be here again. Great idea making your stash early. Great card and thanks so much for sharing it with us over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and good luck.

Hugs

Your stamp works great with the sketch and the paper is beautiful. Great use of the ribbon, too! I was working on Christmas cards until we suddenly had 3 sunny days, and then I had to be outside enjoying them, sigh.
