Hey y'all, I'm back with a second post today because I've been a card makin' fool and I want to enter a bunch of challenges : ) So here's my card:
I reached waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the archives to Sleigh Ride, which is the stamp set I used to make Christmas cards my very first year as a stamper. For today's card, I embossed the image with pewter embossing powder and then watercolored with a bunch of different colors and I wonder why I was crazy enough to watercolor 50+ Christmas cards that year because this takes a while.
Now for the challenges, check out the Festive Friday Challenge:
I used white, metallic (pewter embossing powder), and pearls. I very nearly used Way to Goat just so I could do the tin can element...and maybe I still will ; )
Next up is the Retro Rubber Challenge:
And apparently I just missed the deadline on this one, the linky is already closed. Last up is the CASE-ing Tuesday Sketches challenge:
I have been having a lot of fun doing this challenge : ) One more, I almost forgot the Inkspirational word prompt:
I've got some snow in my stamped image, you can't have a sleigh ride without snow!
Okay for realsies, that's it for me today. I'm going back up to my craft room because it's my birfday and I wanna be crafty. Cheers!

This is lovely Christy - I like the calming effect of the greens in the background and frame/banner elements and that image is lovely. That is some feat to have heat embossed 50 of those, let along to watercolour theme too. A beautiful image though, so worth it!
Christy - that is from the archives. BTW - your new photo still gets me everytime. That snarling tiger just doesn't look happy. Anyway, I love your vintage card. A lot of work went into this and I can't believe you did it 50 times! So glad you shared this with us at Festive Friday this week
