I made this card for a little girl named Jocelyn, the granddaughter and daughter of friends in our monthly stamping group.
The littlle maze game is from Walmart. When I saw a package of them for $1, I remembered how much fun I had playing with these kinds of games as a kid. My next thought was, "That would work really well on the front of a kid's card." Since I started stamping, I always shop with the "Will that work on a card?" thought in the back of my mind. :o]
I stamped the Penny Black Santa and Rudolph - colored with Copics and then VersaMarker and clear embossed. Did the same for the trees in green ink, snowflakes in blue ink, and North Pole sentiment in red ink. Then sponged the ground and sky using Post-It Note and scalloped oval mask.
The holly trim around the outside border of the card is stamped in green ink and colored with Copics and Versamarker and clear embossed. Then added stickles for the red berries. Last of all glued on the game in the corner.

Awesome card Sue! Clever idea to combine the the card and the game... I know Jocelyn loved both. This card was gorgeous to see IRL... so much sparkle and shine.
