PS Xmas Card #5 we wish you a Merry Christmas

While it rained outside this weekend I made a couple Clean & Simple CAS Christmas cards. The MISTI tool comes in handy for stamping to get the ink colors just right. Used Delicata Silvery Shimmer silver ink for this card for a retro Christmas tree look. 

I remember my family had a silver tinsel Christmas tree when I was younger. See photos below of tree & me.

I'm the one back right with long blonde hair, my older sister, by 1 yr 2 mths, is on my left and my younger brother by 8 yrs 1 mth is front & center.

Postcard Card

Created this Postcard Card using Tim Holtz Postcard embossing folder among other things. Distressed the embossed layer edges & added distress ink. Cut sentiment tag with Spellbinder using off-white cardstock. Added distress ink to edges of sentiment tag. Stamped sentiment on Kraft cardstock, cut out with same Spellbinder die as sentiment tag and then cut out with scissors so I would have a center portion of Kraft to place on top of the off-white sentiment tag. used metal brads to hold the sentiment tag to the Kraft layer of the card.


Photographed the card with a few postcards I've saved: on far left & center are from my Dad and the Sunshine Bridge postcard is from an Internet friend that lives near the bridge.
