North Pole Post

We received our first measurable snowfall over the weekend.  We got only an inch at our house, but we still had to shovel because the temperatures were heading down and the snow would not melt on its own.  With weather like that, I don't mind staying indoors and being crafty.  Besides, it was high time I started working on my Christmas cards.  If you're on my Christmas card list (and you know who you are), you may not want to read any further!

The focus of this card is an ATC-sized collage with some easy stamping, a colored Santa, and the right amount of distress ink to age everything.  The "Dec 24" was stamped on another piece of paper, inked up, cut out, and adhered to the card to mimic a postage stamp. 

I hope you're staying nice and warm, wherever you are!  Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Artistic Outpost (Santa, Dec 24, branches), Cornish Heritage Farms (sentiment), Stamp Francisco (North Pole postmark), Stampa Rosa (other postmark); red and brown cardstocks by Bazzill; decorative papers from Memorybox and Daisy D; Archival jet black ink; barn door, antique linen, peeled paint, and walnut stain distress ink; Prismacolor Premier pencils; Nestabilities Label 10; pop-dots.
