One of my favorite Vintage Santa stamps from Artistic Outpost, "Snowy Woods"...this stamp plate reflects the mood of a Nostalgic Christmas.
The scalloped circle is was cut from a Nestabilities folder, called - Eyelet Circles. Both the Green and Blue backgrounds are Technique Junkies methods called "Bleached Swipes"...and then oversprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist sprays...
Inks used on this card were: Tim Holtz Distress inks, Archival Coffee, Ranger Pigment inks.

Connie - so sorry about your early frost! What a short summer you have! i'm sure you make up for it by incorporating colorful cards in the other seasons. This one is really nice. The crochet is great and the color flowers are sweet.

Wow this is wonderful and I would have never thought these colors would work with a Christmas image but it's awesome.
