Olde Time Father Christmas

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a vintage Christmas card that I created yesterday. I just adore this beautiful Olde Time Father Christmas image. 

I have used a variety of papers; the wood texture paper is from my own stash, the vintage bingo card is from Pinterest and the music score sheet is from the Sepia Ephemera paper set. 

I started with a blank pre-scored Kraft card; next, I layered the wood texture and music score sheet paper. I distressed the edges with Black Soot DI. I then tore some corrugated card and adhered it to the left side of the card. 

Here I have adhered two banners of music score paper using a banner metal die behind the main image. 

To finish my card, I have used a Tattered Lace Poinsettia die along with the music score sheet paper and some Tim Holtz Holiday greens cut from kraft cardstock. Everything has been distressed with Black Soot DI and white acrylic paint. Thanks so much for stopping by, hugs Zowie xx

I'm dreaming of a PINK Christmas!

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing some shabby chic Christmas cards that I have recently made. Pink seems to be my favourite go-to colour at the moment.. and well, who doesn't love a pink Christmas! I found these delightful Santa images on Ebay so of course, I had to have them! I have also purchased these wonderful pink Chrysanthemum's from another seller on Ebay and they match perfectly! 

I have used blank kraft card stock, which I scored myself and have also used pink stripe and star vintage paper, vintage music sheets and bingo cards to create a shabby chic look. The little banners under the main image are cut from pink glitter wallpaper along with a small banner die. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next post! Hugs, Zowie xx

You better not cry! - Artsystamper Challenge

Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today a new challenge starts over at Artsystamper and the winner will receive a wonderful prize from their Etsy store! 

We are also collaborating with Double Trouble Challenges.

I am also sharing my DT creation, made using Beverly's beautiful digital Poinsettia stamps and paper collection, which you can find HERE and if you purchase this, you also get the wonderful Seaside Holiday set free (offer available through December 24th) 

Here I have used the Poinsettia paper from the collection, some wood texture paper and a strip of corrugated card from my own stash. I adhered all layers of paper on to a piece of kraft card stock.

Here I have layered two of the Poinsettia stamps from the kit using pop-dots. 

Before I adhered the Poinsettia, I layered a few Holiday Greens die, cut also from Kraft card stock. 
Each has been distressed using Walnut stain distress ink.  To finish my card, I have printed out the quote 'you better not cry' as I thought it fitted this darling vintage photo perfectly!
