I have another Christmas card today that includes retired SU! dsp and a long-retired SU! image. This little stamp is from a SU! set my DIL sent me when I first began stamping many years ago. It has lots of small Christmas stamps, and I've used the nutcracker/toy soldier image with some Lil Inker stitched circles of cherry cobbler and gumball green. The sentiment is by Northwoods done in cherry cobbler on a white CS base.
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Cards4Guyz#80 - Christmas in July
Tuesday Throwdown#254 - Christmas in July
Snippets Playground #186 - must use snippets
Merry Christmas everyone! (I hope that helps you think cool in this heat!)

Hi Carol, I love your arrangement of patterned paper on this lovely card, they are a perfect backing for the little toy soldier. I like the traditional Christmas colours as well, also on yesterdays card which I seem to have missed. I very much like the layout on that one too.

I'm wearing a sweater because it feels so cool! Oh, it *is* that cool with the usual too much air conditioning in an office building thing. Love this card! The papers and the layers and the wee image. This is a good way to make a small image be the focal point of a regular sized card.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Carol. Love this style.
