Vintage Santa


Oh dear, so many Christmas challenges I wanted to enter this week and unable to choose. Anyway, I new I wanted  to to make a vintage Christmas card for my son and this is it.  I used kraft card and lots of layering and distressing. I used a piece of song sheet music which is called " Santa Claus so Jolly" and distressed the edges with bundled sage distress ink. I added gold brad snowflakes and some webbing. Bearing in mind I was ill for a couple of days this week I was lucky to get it finished today. I was pleased with the end result.
Two of the challenges I have entered are :-http://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.com/  (vintage) and http://trulyscrumptiouschallenges.blogspot.com/ who's challenge is Xmas + pearls or vintage.

 The rest are listed below.
