I was so excited to see the way to use it challenge today because I've been trying to come up with some Christmas card ideas...yep I'm one of those that start early
I loved yesterday's sketch challenge so I used that layout and broke out my Winter Post. The set is so vintage I wanted to make a card that matched that feel. I searched through my stash of never ending patterened paper and found 2 oldies but goodies in there....too bad most of the striped paper is covered up.
After I did yesterday's sketch challenge I noticed my frog card was just missing something, so with this card I added the cb embossing border at the bottom and used the bella toile bg stamp at the top. I aged the image by rubbing antique linen ink all over exept over the skaters. I also aged the snowflake with Walnut Ink.
I think I've found this years Christmas card. Thanks for looking

What a fantastic job you have done with that image. I have liked that image, but not know if I could do it justice. You have done a terrific job with your colors and coloring. A beautiful Christmas card.
