vintage Christmas...


This is my interpretation of an old fashioned Christmas.
Though I have old Christmas cards I don’t have anything to make them with so...
I tore up a vintage look shopping bag and decoupaged it to a kraft card stock base.
Next I trimmed all around the edges.
On another piece of kraft card stock I stamped the Santa image, unknown company, and colored it with white gel pen covered with Wink Of StellaGlossy Clear as well as Wink Of Stella Glossy red.
I read somewhere that his were expensive for printing back then and usually there were only me or two colors used for a printing.
I trimmed this out and foam dotted it to the base card.
