Created for the HYCCT1327 - Honor Your Elders - I chose a vintage decoration to honour my elders - I love decorations like this one!
Also created for the Ways to Use It Challenge - WT451 - use a masking technique. For my card I masked the 2 panels for my back ground (all stamped and inked) and then I used the Retiform technique to create my focal image with my Santa.
Other Challenges:
Merry Monday Challenge - use "Santa" on your card.

So love this vintage Christmas greeting. Fine way to honor our elderly. I think anyone at any age would be thrilled to receive this beautiful card.

Those warm, soft colours are spot on for a vintage Christmas feel and I just love the look of your retiform. Thank you for getting all masked-up for the WT challenge .

Oh yes, this does remind me of the vintage ornaments! Fantastic stamp! Love your great layout/design too! Your background stamping is awesome and I love your sponging too! Plus your ribbon is gorgeous!!! Brilliant for all three challenges, but I am especially glad you made your fabulous card for HYCCT!!!

Lovely Santa stamp, just a bit different and I like how you added the ribbon. Made a fantastic Holiday card. Thanks for joining us at Merry Monday this week.
