Christmas Cards the VlVS! way...

 

 

Today is Christmas Card Blog hop day!!,  with my wonderful friends at Viva Las VegaStamps!

 

 

 

 Here is my card that I'd love to share with you, and hopefully leave you with a little inspiration..

 

( look out for a fun little giveaway at the bottom of this post )

 

 

 

 

I have used a #10 Ranger Kraft tag as the base of my card. these are great to fold in half and use as a  card base!

 

I started off with probably my favourite VLVS! Santa image, stamped onto some white card. I have used archival ink for Santa, and some red distress ink for his hat. I've also added some colour to his face using a distress marker.

 

 I then distressed a 4.5 inch x 4.5 inch square of card stock using a bit more distress ink in two different colours ( vintage photo and walnut stain )  and stamped it with the Jingles Bells music Pine Branch  stamps. I also added in a little stitching around the edges of the card.

 

 

 I then stamped Merry Christmas onto another piece of card and added in a little distress ink around the edges.

 

 

I then layered them up onto my card base, and added in a few embellishments and I was done..
