It's time for another Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz, and this month's theme is Christmas/Winter!
I have been collecting some 6x6 Christmas-themed patterned paper pads lately! In the past when I have purchased papers, I then had trouble incorporating them into projects. So I have been trying new things, and actually USING what I buy! When I saw the Peppermint Collection by Crate paper, I knew that I wanted to combine it with the new WMS set Santa's Coming to Town!
I stamped the image in Versamark, and embossed it with black powder. It fits perfectly over the little circle in the center of this image, with just enough peeking out to look like a pinked edge!
Can't wait to see all of the Christmas projects today! If you would like to participate, or follow along and visit the other participants' blogs, just look HERE in the Waltzingmouse Forum!

ReplyDeleteOoo, thar Santa fits perfectly inside that label! Gorgeous traditional colours, and perfect layout, makes a stunning Xmas card!
ReplyDeleteLovely vintage looking card, and the ribbon and bell are so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn't get any more perfect, Kelly. The simple silhouette against those wonderful busy patterns couldn't have been better chosen. Glad you stopped hoarding those pads!!:) I was visiting the Smethers family in CA last week and told them I had had the personal pleasure of meeting you IRL and that you truly were as sweet as you seemed even tho' you put Bubba on the naughty list. He does appear to have some Grizzly in him, but on closer inspection it is really all teddy bear!!:) Hugs and Happy Waltzing; I enjoy seeing those creative fingers dance...(I'm off to make curried rice and turkey for dinner)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card. So full of Christmas cheer. Also, that is an amazing and original idea you had to use your patterned paper! Why didn't I ever think of it? Off to consider the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteOh, fun... love the silhouette of Mr. Claus.
ReplyDeleteI adore those papers and they are the perfect match to the new sets in my opinion! I love your card! The frame for Santa is perfect!! Well done!
