Judy(StampingQueenJAR) asked us to use "spray" on our cards. This card is for next year's stash. I used my "toothbrush snow", which is a spatter or spray depending on how you look at it. But to be safe, I add Mr. Huey's Shine spray inside the oval as well....those are the dots you see in the upper left area of the scene...glimmer is always hard for me to capture in a photo.
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate.

What a beautiful vintage design. I love those muted colors~! Sparkle is always so hard to capture in a photo, and I can just imagine how much more gorgeous this is IRL~!

Wonderful! I have this stamp; I love this image, but I've not used it yet because I just know I can't do it justice. You've worked magic with it. I LOVE your coloring and shading...wish you could come to my house and play in my stamproom. TFS

Sallie, you have captured the Christmas day's gone by. Such a stunning vintage card with your distressing and sponging, and once again you know how I feel about your "snowy" scenes. You are the Master of this technique. Absolutely gorgeous

Very beautiful scene! Gorgeous old fashioned Christmas. Doesn't look like we will have snow around here so it is nice to see it on your card. Love the subtle colouring. TFS

What a gorgeous card Sallie!! I love how you do that toothbrush technique. This is one of my favorite new stamps of the season. I could have got it at Michael's for half off, but the lines were just too long. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!!
