This is my card for Sabrina's sing, sing a song WT614 challenge. My song inspiration is "O come, all ye faithful".
I needed a couple more cards so this challenge was perfect for me. On this card I recycled a Christmas card I received last year and created a new card. I used a friend's template from Just For Fun Stamps to cut the image in 4 pieces and used some postage stamp scissors for a fancy edge.
In addition to the template for cutting your image, my friend also has this faux postage background stamp that stamps a background for your images once they are cut. It's also from JFF Stamps.
We were together in the summer and our stamp group brought some Christmas cards to try this technique out.
I recently found 6 of these recycled cards in my stash and decided to complete them to send out. I have several of them in my gallery using the SC622 sketch. You can find them here,here and here.
I layered the image with elegant eggplant cardstock. I used some silver striped designer paper that I found in my stash from Making Memories. I thought it matched nicely with the image.
Used a MFT die to cut the paper ribbon and bow in elegant eggplant cardstock. Layered these panels on silver cardstock for my base and that completed this card. Putting in the mail tomorrow and that is it. No more Christmas card making for me this year. I have baking and present wrapping to get done. (lol)

Again I am loving the faux postage effect. I'm not actually hoping for snow, but it would be lovely to see a lit-up welcoming church like this on a cold snowy night...

Oh Mary this image is wonderful and the postage theme on the card is so amazing. Love that wonderful ribbon die cut and your layout and colors are just spot on perfect for this card.
