With Halloween behind us the next big event in the crafting calendar is looming large. So at Vintage Stamping Challenges we are concentrating on Christmas, and have chosen Traditional Christmas as our challenge theme this month.
For our Traditional Christmas theme I immediately thought of Graphic 45 and pulled out a few papers from an old collection (including the sentiment).
I used this sweet image from Flonzcraft, our sponsor, and stamped it in black (dye) ink on a very smooth card.
I added some Core'dination cardstock for matting and die-cut the mats to add interest without further bulk.
All layers have been inked all around the edges to give more of a Vintage look and my main image has had the Distress ink treatment (Antique Linen and Walnut inks).
Hop over to the Vintage Stamping Challenge blog to see what the rest of the DT has made this month. Join us in creating a Traditional Christmas make for the chance to win a $20 voucher for the Flonzcraft shop. Remember your make doesn't need to be vintage but it does need to have some stamping, no digis allowed!
Thanks for coming by,
Gorgeous card Christine, sorry it's short and sweet but until this silliness on my desktop with blogger is sorted I'm reliant on my tabled which is not user friendly to less than nimble fingers.
