Postal Christmas

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

The last time my friend Nance came, she brought her Waffle Flower postage die
and Christmas stencils.


All I had to do was put it on a piece of cardstock for a background and add a 
foiled, pressed sentiment strip.

Challenges:
Just Us Girls #750 - ATG using a stencil
Jingle Belles - Use an animal on a Christmas card (reindeer)
Krafty Chicks #739 - Any Occasion (Christmas)

 







Card Recipe
Stamps:  BP Merry & Bright Sentiment Strips (SB)
Ink:   Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Tea Die, Rustic Wilderness, Candied Apple, Fired Brick, Speckled Egg (DI), Encore Gold
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Christmas Pine (GKD)
Other:  Postage Stamp Collage (WF), Christmas Stencils (WF), Foil (SB) 


Enjoy!

Love your Christmas card Bonnie. Those colors look great. I think I have that stencil also and haven't used it yet. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love the postage stamp background filled with some really pretty Christmas images Bonnie, and the dark green background contrasts well to show them off. Lovely of your friend to share her stash with you. x

Those stenciled images fill the sections perfectly, Bonnie, and the dark green grounds them in such a wonderful way.

Oooh, this is one of the prettiest postage cards I've seen! The stenciled images are so pretty and soft. Beautifully framed and the sentiment is placed just right!

I was so busy looking at all the wonderfully stenciled images I forgot to notice you entered your card at Just Us Girls, Bonnie. I'm so glad you did.

So pretty!! Love the Christmas postage images in particular from Waffle Flower. Should have bought them! :) This is gorgeous with the shades of green, red and touches of gold. The deep green background sets it all off. Beautiful work, my friend. xx

Wonderful Christmas card. I’m trying to refrain from jumping on the postage bandwagon but it’s getting hardsd each time I see beautiful cards like this.
