I was going through my Christmas stamps the other day and found a set that I always loved and haven't used in years.
I then dug out my old Pear and Partridge paper and combined it with this stamp.
I even pulled out my old Cranberry Ribbon Rounds out to make a bow.
I've had the 2 CTMH Metallic markers, gold and silver, for over a year and never used them. So, I used them to color the two Christmas balls.
I wasn't going to color Santa in. I was just going to make it an old fashion card with just ink distressing. But my Copic markers were screaming at me that I was neglecting them. So, I colored.
I even used the dark red to color my pearls for my embellishments.
The inspiration for the card actually started with a sketch challenge from Sketch and Stash.
