Jolly Christmas Card

With Thanksgiving officially over, I present to you one of several Christmas cards that I have been working on. First up is a card using Card Positioning Systems layout #92.




I started with a base of PTI Kraft Cardstock and ran my Tim Holtz Distress Inks along the sides to muddle it up a bit. The patterned paper is Figgy Pudding by Basic Grey which I used my Tim Holtz paper distresser on the edges and inked them with the same Distress inks. The green is PTI's Ripe Avacado which I ran thru my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and smudged Distress Inks over the top. I tied a piece of PTI Dark Chocolate ribbon around the side as an accent.

The main images and sentiment were from my local craft store and are by Stampabilities. After coloring the Santa and Rudolph in with my Prisma pencils, I used some Liquid Applique on the Santa and some Crystal Effects on Rudolph's nose then matted them with SU! Eggplant Envy paper. I positioned the sentiment so it appears that Santa is holding it up.



And finally, I decorated the inside with enough white space to stamp a message or hand write one to whomever I decide to give it to.



Thanks for stopping by!
