We were given some scrummy papers from our sponsor to play with - the Winter Wonderland collection is lovely - all double sided too!
I distressed the edges and then dipped in some white embossing powder.
This stamp is one of my very fave Christmas ones, it never lets me down no matter what colour I use!
I stamped twice, once onto the DP and once again onto a piece of teal coloured card. White embossed, then cut out the centre oval from the dark card.
The poinsettias are another stamp set I use a lot, I used up the offcuts of the DP and the card for the petals and stick a little sparkly in the centre of each. Same sparklies used in the top right corner.
The sentiment is a really old wood backed stamp but it stamps beautifully on ANYTHING including vellum. Tore the vellum and then with the bits left over punched out a couple of ferny bits and ticked behind the biggest flower.
Hope you will share your Festive makes with us this challenge - and don't forget - any holly, ivy christmas tree, christmas flower is fine as long as the focal point of your project is STAMPED!!!!
Am going to pop this into the Playground as I used up every scrap of the paper - and have missed visiting the swings the last few weeks.

A blue card Viv !! It's lovey and a stamp I really like although mine has not seen as much ink as it should and always enjoy as Poinsettia or two.
What fun yesterday was, clearly being Normal is preferable to being Special !! He's actually really growing on me, I wasn't sure at first but he has a certain almost shy charm and love his celebratory jump.

Stunning creation! So beautifully done! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Penny Black and More!
I'll never get to the bottom of my crafty stash? Viv, I thought you were my friend, you're obviously one of those brutally honest types!! Because you're probably right. But I hope I get to the bottom of using the stuff that I bought years ago thinking it was wonderful and then I learnt that there was so much more to do and play with and moved on. If I can get through all that, I'll be a whole heap happier and have a lot more space in my house hee hee!
I love your soft beautiful card, good to see inspiration for vellum as I recently found a stack of that too. Plain vellum, vellum with stars, with hearts, with sparkle, thank you vellum, Birthday vellum, vellum with snowmen, roses, leaves, swirls and flowers. Erm....a LOT of vellum! Have a great day, I'm off for a lie down xx
This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I love this so much! The color is my favorite, the softness of the velum and the white embossing is just amazing! Beautiful card!
Stunning vintage card Viv, love those stamps and the colour is wonderful!

This is such a softly coloured and beautiful Christmas card Viv with the pretty added poinsettias and foliage, and the vellum sentiment is a lovely finishing touch. Hope the presentation lunch in Dorset went well. x
