You're not old ... you're vintage!

I had a lot of fun making this card.

 

 

I stamped the TV and die cut several times, making a shaker window for the screen. I placed TV onto background SDP, then used a Stampin' Up Marker to define the edge.

 

 

Sentiment was stamped using Stampin' Up Marker Bravo Burgundy - I am amazed they still work after all these years!

I just love these layering stamps & dies - they create such interest in an otherwise clean & simple card. #Altenew

Another Christmas Card, surprise, surprise!  :)  

 

I ordered a stamp & die set (more of that to come later) from Uniquely Creative, an online craft store right here in Adelaide!  I like to support local where I can. There was a stencil included as a 'thank you' so I just HAD to have a play.

 

I grabbed a couple of inks and daubers and placed the stencil on the left hand side of a card topper.  I quickly realised that my daubers were way too big, so I settled on a 'rustic' finish.  To cover up an 'oopsy' I inked up the edges of the topper with both the brown & the red  Cardtopper is 210gsm, layered onto 250gsm cardbase (White) from Blue Edge Crafts, another local Adelaide online craft store.

 

The large snowflake was diecut from silver foiled cardstock, the centre circle was cut then the sentiment was stamped with Versafine Black Onyx & clear heat embossed.  The snowflake was mounted to the card topper, with the sentiment raised on 3D foam.  Additional holly was stamped, heat embossed and coloured in, then mounted onto circle.

I am normally a 'gold' person, but I quite like the silver snowflake on this card!  The other colours used were inspired by the Card Concept challenge
