Happy Friday, everyone! I have a vintage-themed Christmas card for you today--I've been neglecting my holiday cards, so I need to get cracking! It fits these challenges: Jingle Belles--the Man with the Bag (Santa!); Retro Rubber's Tic Tac Toe grid (I used the center column); and the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches:
So here we go:
These Crafty Secrets vintage Santa stamps are probably from around 2012 or so. I don't really know the date, but I know I've had them for a long time and was very sad when they went out of business! I stamped Santa on Very Vanilla with Cherry Cobbler ink and added some swirls in Crumb Cake:
Sentiment was stamped on Crumb Cake, along with some wee little "stitched" lines from Close to My Heart (approx 2000)
and here's the inside sentiment:
My Crumb Cake mat was also embossed with the Subtle embossing folder and sponged with Pecan Pie ink to give it a vintage feel. Some maroon sequins from my stash finished it off!
Thanks for visiting today---I know need to go do my chores! Enjoy your day and be blessed!
