Make My Monday Week 23

There is a new theme for the month over on Make My Monday challenge blog and as you might guess it is Christmas with traditional/vintage chosen by Suzi B for this first week of November.  I do like a wide variety of styles but for Christmas I think traditional or vintage always goes down well.  I have chosen backing papers from a pad by Cart-US which has some wonderful vintage papers including some of these little postcards on which I've stamped a greeting.  The main image is a stamp from a clear set which has unfortunately lost its packaging but I really love this Santa.  I added some cream lace, a die-cut border and a poinsettia cut from some of the backing papers.

  8. He's a lovely traditional & vintage Santa stamp & I love the way you have used a coloured background with the monochrome sepia looking image reminding one of an old photo.

  11. Beautiful vintage effect card Val. The colours are so warm and make me think of the Christmases when we had big coal fires. Lovely when you were sat toasting your toes but move 6 feet away and it was freezing, lol!
