Merry Monday Card Challenge #8 posted on Always Playing With Paper Blog.
I made two cards... this one above uses a Santa Claus stamp from a stamp set I got a while back from a fellow SCS'er.. the stamp set is from Flourishes called Santa, I Believe. I had the hardest time getting a clean image with the Santa Claus image.. I stamped it 7 times before I finally did.. a lotta work for one image.. but it was worth it.
used on this card:
card stock: Stampin' UP! Early Espresso, Marina Mist, white
ink: Memento Brown
access: bigkick, nestabilities dies, Stampin' UP! houndstooth embossing folder, Stampin' UP! white ribbo, brown brads, hole punch, and Dimensionals!!
stamps: Flourishes Santa, I Believe
This next card using some Hero Arts stamps.. Winter Scene and the sentiment is from Greatest Gift. used on this card:
card stock: Stampin' UP! Ruby Red, Always Artichoke, White
ink: Memento Black, Ranger distress ink.. one of the winter colors

Wow Pam, both of your cards are delightful. I enjoy that Santa stamp, and yes, I always find I need to stamp it a few times to get a clean image! I love the winter scene on the other card too, the embossing is very pretty. Thanks for joining me at Merry Monday, I hope you come back and play again.
