Happy Thursday, peeps! I am squeezing in this Christmas card for the A La Card Monkey challenge 75, which is another Christmas sketch:
I had some vintage Christmas images from Artistic Outpost just itching to be inked up, so here we go:
This is a really big card, 8x5” but my tag was so large I needed that size to fit it! That gave me the chance to also use some new vintage MME Lost & Found Christmas paper….mmmm, it is yummy! Santa is stamped in Memento and colored with Copics….trying to improve my skills! I masked him and wheeled the background with SU’s Music Notes wheel. In retrospect, I think Santa would have looked better had I stamped him in brown ink, but he’s going out in black for right now!
I resisted the urge to add glitter, because this will probably be my dad’s Christmas card! Next time I’ll do that! I added some beautiful SU ribbon trims: Velveteen, Quilted and Polka Dot, and added a little mini bell to the button as well! TFL!
Wee Details:
- Stamps: Music Notes wheel, Artistic Outpost
- Paper: Naturals Ivory, Bravo Burgundy, Very Vanilla, Lost & Found Christmas DP, MME
- Ink: Memento Black, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
- Acc: Quilted Ribbon, Velveteen Ribbon, Polka Dot Scalloped Ribbon, MS Snowflake Border Punch, Corner Rounder, Button, Mini Jingle Bell, Copics, Daubers

Beautiful, LeAnne! I love the Santa tag! The paper is just gorgeous...a vintage delight!
Great card, and I like Santa stamped in black. It reminds me that vintage items were modern once. (like me.)

Hi Debbie, this Santa is from Artistic Outpost...not sure if they are still in business or not! This is from 2011, so it's been a while!
