I've been making a few vintage Christmas cards using this La Blanche stamp.
This one has lots of distressing and just a pop of colour with the Holly and the die cut Poinsettia. I dry embossed the base card.
I stamped this onto some Kraft cardstock with Wet Cement Hero Arts ink. I coloured the holly and Santa with colouring pencils and Gamsol. Tore all around it and edged with Walnut Stain ink. I stamped the Kaisercraft sentiment with Archival Coffee ink... Noticed it's a bit crooked. Finished with a flower and mounted the panel onto a card base stamped with Hero Arts Wood grain background in Olive distress ink.
I stamped this onto some dark cream card stock with Versamark Sahara Sand, making sure that I didn't stamp the Holly. I trimmed the piece with some decorative scissors and distressed with Tea Dye distress ink. I stamped part of a Hero Arts sentiment stamp along the top. Added some lace and a flourish and red flower. The PP on the card base is from a Kaisercraft pack.
I'm taking it with me tomorrow so there will be more to share next week.
Have a great weekend

All three cards are so pretty, Dawn! Beautiful work!
Beautiful, Dawn! What a great stamp to use for all of them!
Hi Dawn - three gorgeous cards, and how different they look, even though the image is the same. My favourite is the first one as I love the vintage feel of it and the embossed background.
Have only just found your beautiful blog - love your style.
You are really rockin' this stamp, Dawn! LaBlanche stamps are just so beautifully detailed and you have made the most of this one!
