After all those cute snowmen and Santas... I was in need of some different Christmas card. Don't get me wrong, I love snowmen and Santas, but well, they are only half the truth about Christmas...
I have an incredible love for old books, and I just had to buy this stamp when I saw it. I send a Christmas card to our retired priest each year, and this year this will be the card.
I stamped the image with Palette Noir onto cream cardstock, then colored it with Twinkling H2Os (several layers to get this extreme shimmery appearance the images in old books have). Then I just mounted the image onto gold cardstock, then onto blue cardstock. Ready. A totally different Christmas card, yet I love it.
What do you think?

WOW!!! I wish I could see this in real life. It looks like something beautiful and magnificent that you would see inside of a Catholic church. I am sure that your retired priest will find it a very special card.
