Sending Christmas Wishes

Don't fall off your chair but I actually have another Christmas card to share and it was NOT made with any BG Aspen Frost papers!


I don't think I'll ever tire of these roses from Hero Arts CG434 Floral Blossoms:)  I inked them up with a Ranger barn door distress marker and a Stampin' Up handsome hunter marker before stamping on a piece of Papertrey ink rustic white cs.  The old Stampin' Up Merry Christmas sentiment was framed with the tag from Hero Arts CL588 Sending You Love and die cut with the matching HA frame cut.  I matted the stamped piece with some diagonally striped pp from the Echo Park Christmas This & That collection - I like the old fashioned wallpaper feel it gives this. 
Other Materials Used:  Stampin' Up handsome hunter cs, Queen & Co red pearls, Ranger antique linen distress ink (to lightly distress edges)

Of course I'll be popping this into the current Hero Arts challenge

All the sunshine from yesterday has disappeared and it looks like it may rain all day  - good excuse to stay inside and make more cards:)  Thanks for all your lovely comments!

This pretty card has the feel of being very vintage-y and home-y, Robin! I love the roses and that patterned paper just frames everything so beautifully! I must get started on Christmas cards!
