I can't believe it's already time to think about X-Mas cards for my classes!! Will begin having an X-mas card each month, beginning in September. Anyway, here is the 1st card for my all-time favorite holiday. It is very simple and quick but has an elegant feel. The images were stamped with Night of Navy ink. I first stamped the trees on the shimmering white card stock, attached the mask with temporary glue and sponged from the lightest to darkest ink pads - progressing from the lower end of the card upward (light to dark ink). Then removed the mask and stamped the Santa & sleigh image. Placed a sponged whisper white 5 X 3-3/4 card stock inside for writing a message to the recipient. Wala, all is done. All product is from SU
