This week at Just Add Ink, the challenge is to Just Add Santa and ALSO, SUO challenges is to have a Non-traditional Christmas Card, sooooooooo
I have made a card that I think is very non traditional AND it includes Santa too.
I have used the Sweater Weather DSP with the hexagon punch as an embellishment down the side of my card- I think of this paper as jumpers and Autumn - both of which are a LONG way away from our HOT Christmas here in Australia!! I have also used By the Tide stamp set (which I love) and which is not really a christmas stamp set, along with the postcard!! The Santa comes from the Best of Christmas stamp set - and he looks great in the place for the stamp on the postcard. I have also used the Rotary date stamp, and my favourite Christmas greeting from Delightful Dozen. Finally I've used my comfort colours - neutrals for a vintage look......... now that I think about it, this could be a VERY old traditional design..... whoops, maybe I need to rethink?
The hexagons are very non- traditional.......
I hope you like my take on the challenges - I certainly had fun putting this one together!!!
