Two Paper Divas~ HO HO HO!

Good Morning everyone, I'm back to share with you my first Christmas card of the year for Two Paper Divas!

using the newly released Ho Ho Ho. As soon as I saw this image, I just knew I had to do a vintage Shabby Chic card...it's just how it "spoke to me" lol! Now shabby chic isn't a norm for me so I hope you like it. :o)

I embossed the image on ivory cardstock and then used Vintage Photo, Tea Dye and Walnut Stain Distress Inks to age it and fussy cut it out. I added a little Frantage as well. For the base, I started with a piece of Ivory CS and and embossed Vintage Correspondence and then used Tim Holtz Mixed Media Die
for added texture. I backed it onto distressed Kraft CS and then mounted it onto an Ivory Base. A little "Noel" die from my Tattered Lace  and some seam Binding Ribbon finished it off. 

Here's a close up:

Hello my crafty Friends! 

It's time for a new challenge over at 

Sparkles Monthly Challenges. 

Our theme this month is:

THE BIG GUY (Santa)

Our lovely sponsor this month is:

 Prize: 2 Dies or 1 Die & 1 Stamp

For this month's card I used a Stamp From Recollections and Embossed it in Silver EP from Recollections. 

I used DP and CS and Shimmer paper from Recollections. I used my Lifestyle Crafts Circles dies to cut out and layer the image. I paper pierced around the edges and with a white Gellyroll Marker made a faux stitching border. Layered Glitter Tape onto Black satin ribbon and finished it off with Silver Bling and a sentiment from Stampin' Up!

Here's a closer look at the image:

I used the same design inside the card but with a Recollections Sentiment:
