Deck the Halls


This is a different type of Christmas card for me, but I thought I would give it a go!    It is certainly not a traditional Christmas card  but the theme is Christmas. This gal reminds me of dance hall girls of old and I am sure they celebrated  the Christmas season too!
I used a Sassy Studio Design digital stamp called 'Steampunk Vivian', framed her in a Spellbinders Nestabilities  die cut (labels 20) and put it all on a  5x 5 card base. I used Spellbinders 'Grommet Tags' for the sentiment .

Embellishments: Holly branches from Stampin' Up's 'Sleigh Bells Ring' stamp set (stamped .coloured, and cut out), Martha Stewart branch punch and the flower from 'Floral Embellishments' by Recollections.

Challenges:

  8. She does look like a dancehall girl and she's adorable for your Christmas card. Would make a fantastic masculine Christmas card too. Wonderful coloring and coordinating elements to go with it.
