The image on this card is from a Debbi Moore 'Vintage Christmas' CD. I think this image is my favourite - I LOVE the colours! I enlarged the image a little then printed it onto buttermilk-coloured textured cardstock instead of white cardstock, and oh my gosh - it looks like an oil painting IRL - like it was painted onto canvas!
I added some tiny dots of AI adhesive to the holly berries on Santa's garland, then sprinkled on fine red glitter. Each layer on the card has had Antique Linen ink sponged around the edges; the main image panel and sentiment are up on mounts (dimensionals).
The sentiment was heat-embossed with gold embossing powder.
I'm popping this card in the Splitcoaststampers 'Ways to use it' Challenge WT274 of 'Sweet child' where you are to incorporate an image with a 'sweet child image'. What can be sweeter than a child at Christmas who believes in the magic of Santa? See this link for the deets on the Challenge: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I am also popping this card into 2 other Challenges:
One is the Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenge Blog where this week's Challenge #37 is to use your border punches. And the other Challenge is A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge blog where this week's Challenge #117 is 'Christmas in August'.
I have details about these Challenges and other info including a close-up photo of the texture/glitter on my Blog which will take you directly to this card: Vintage Holiday Wishes
