I got this PSX Santa a while ago but never yet used it. I thought it might look good w/some festive papers behind it and today's sketch seemed perfect. I layered a die cut w/ribbon and cardstock as one "flag" and left off the other (actually forgot there were two as I was in my craft room going by memory.)
I wanted the image to look vintage so I 'went easy' on the direct to stamp coloring. After I was done, I hoped that the image wasn't "drowned out" d/t the festive SU papers. What do you think? Should I have made the image darker? Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I am also submitting this card for the following challenges:

PSX is pretty much my all-time favourite - I still hoard the few things from them I have left. This image is stunning & you've made it the star of the show for sure. Thanks for coming to play at Shopping our Stash this week
