I used the Santa Reading List stamp for my card and colored the image with copic markers. I added lots of antique linen and tea dye distress inks to the edges of the image and then, distress the edges with an edge distressor. I stitched around the image and added some spacers and silver brads to the corners. I added stitching and distressing to all of my patterned papers and the sentiment, too. Then, I finished off my card with a poinsettia, bead cap, and pearl brad.
Have a great day!
Niki

What a cute Santa! This is my first year into stamping and I am absolutely loving the Christmas stamps. I read your blog every day and get such good ideas. Thanks so much.
OMGosh I love vintage-looking, distressed card! You have done such a spectacular job on it that the paper appears to me to be fabric! The Santa is adorable, as well as the baking Santa. Speaking of baking, I made my first batch of Christmas cookies today. I'm making all the cookies that freeze well as in they taste fresh throughout the month when I take them out to eat, serve or give! Today was Russian Tea Cakes. Friday will be Pecan Tassies ... wish you were here to enjoy some of them. :)
Such a cute card - excellent coloring!
Now that the drawing is over, I can leave a message! I LOVE this card!! The layout is awesome and I love the beautiful distressing. I noticed that you haven't linked where you get your spacers from. You have a lovely collection. Do you mind sharing where you got them?
