This card had to include an old commercial Christmas Card.

For this card we were asked to use embossing ( I used a Sizzix Tim Holtz one called "Bricked" ) and include a star. I made my star with a Quilling Comb ( first time of doing this technique ).

Christmas Card Challenge at Ideal Papercrafts - Week 4 - #2

The challenge for this card was to choose our own theme. I chose the theme of "GIFTS"

A fairly easy requirement for this card - we had to stamp on patterned paper.

With this challenge there was a quiet a list of colours to use - brown, blue, dusty red, green, cream, gold and white. Plus it had to have a vintage look.

I enjoyed using my new Ecraft machine to cut out the flourishes. Also I did no stamping on this card. The tag and patterned paper were from a free kit that came with a Cardmaking magazine.

For this card we had to use a stamp we have not used for a long time. The Nativity stamp I used was bought the first year I started stamping which was back in 1992 and the Bible Verse stamp was the first scripture stamp I ever bought and would have been bought that year also.
