ADDICTED TO STAMPS AND MORE #502 CHRISTMAS



Welcome back to another Christmas challenge from ATSM - hopefully you are well on the way to having a good stash of Christmas cards ready for the season.

My card today features one of the delightful stamps by Alison Bomber.  This is one of my favourite carols and I'm so pleased to have it on a stamp.  

I chose to do some purples with this card - not a colour I often use but I thought it went with the bleak winter colours.  I used Dusty Concord Distress Oxide for the border.  I then used a variety of Tim Holtz stamps from his Winter Watercolour collection.  Some of them were water coloured - that is I stamped them and then added a spritz of water - it softens the stamped image.  I added some in Evergreen Bough Distress and the purple is Versafine Twilight.  I added some splatters of white for snow.  




I'm adding this into the following:

Outlawz Festive - Christmas 
Cardz for Galz - Green and Purple 
Little Red Wagon - Holidays 
Dream Factory - mainly purple
