Red, Gray, and White Christmas Card




Hi, Friends.....

I made several different variations of this Christmas card using the Stamper's Anonymous - TH Christmas Miracle and the Viva la Verve November Sketch.

I also drew inspiration for this card from a couple of lovely cards by Heather over at the Winnie & Walter Rerun Challenge for this month.  I adore the wonderful layering and the pretty doilies she used.


Supplies used include:
Stamper's Anonymous - TH Christmas Miracle
Versafine Ink in Satin Red
Clear Sparkle Embossing Powder
Winnie & Walter - Big Bang Confetti Cutaways die set (for stars)
Winnie & Walter - Essentials: Audrey Cutaways die set
DCWV Glitter and Solid Cardstock scraps
Doily from my stash

Which one of these variations do you like better this red/gray/white one? Or the black/gold HERE. I might put one more variation up here on my blog and then put a few others over on Flickr. :)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

  2. This is gorgeous! I just skipped back to your last post and I like that one too but if I had to choose, this one would win as I love the red Santa. Both are really cool though! xxx

  11. ooooh, this is the stamped image that you told me about and it's even better than I expected! LOVE this red, white and gray version so much! The doily adds to the vintage appeal and that DCWV paper is so beautiful.

  13. I would never have know what to do with a stamp this complex, but you used it perfectly! I like this one much better than the black and gold one (the embossing loses a bit of the crispness of the image).We are always happy to see your work at the HeARTful Stamping Challenge!
