Very Vanilla Vintage Christmas

 Hello my fellow Christmas challenge crafters, I finally finished the vintage Santa card I started 8 days ago, I have been trying to organize my supplies (gasp) it's not easy but I came upon a box of vanilla invitation blanks that I found at Goodwill for $2.00 there are 100 in the box, yep gonna take me a while to use them up. I had been looking for the perfect vanilla shade for cards and I had it in my stash all along. Okay on with the card. I stamped the image, cut the ovals, had the base ready as well as a layer then life happened, appointments, dt cards, laundry, once that was under control I had a chance to finish my card for the Jingle Belles Christmas challenge.


Please note there is distressing on the music layer (gasp) not usually something I do and the inking whoa I inked and inked and inked some more. 
Items I used Vintage Santa, spellbinders plain and fancy ovals, Stampin'up music background stamp and Versafine Sepia ink for stamping, Walnut oxide distress ink for distressing.


Side view to show the slight elevation of the focal point. 


Inside finished with a scrap of music note paper and a Stampendous sentiment and some more inking.

I am adding this to.
