I did have a small industrial interlude, just enough to produce another Christmas card for my stash. Ideas and inspiration came from the following challenges: Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge #116, Crimbo Crackers #24: Vintage, 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Sept Embellishment: Eyelets and ABC Christmas Challenge: S for Santa.
Here's my card:
 |
| The vintage Santa and plaid are by Raspberry Road. And there are 7 eyelets ... can you see them?! |
 |
| For the focal image I used WMS Vintage Ornament stamp and Spellbinder die. |
 |
| The sentiment is from the Compliments of the Season by WMS, which I cut with Spellbinders Oval die. |
 |
| Some cream vintage lace and 3 blings complete the sketch elements. |
 |
| The sentiment is from WMS Seasons of Love. A couple more eyelets for the inside and I'm calling it a day. |
Supplies:
Papers: Raspberry Road "Christmas Remembered"
Stamps: WMS "Vintage Ornaments", "Compliments of the Season" and "Seasons of Love"
Ink: Memento Rhubarb Stalk; Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate; Tim Holtz Vintage Photo
Spellbinder Dies: 2010 Heirloom Ornaments S4-283; Classic Ovals LG S4-110
So there you have it: my lazy Sunday card. Tomorrow is the start of the last week of September. Where has the month gone, eh? I'm going to crawl into bed and ruminate on that very point, but first I want to thank you for being a sweetie and stopping by my blog. See you again (I hope!) real soon.
Beijinhos!
