Hello friends!

The current Ai Challenge is “’Prep for Christmas” …and we are featuring the new Christmas Clear Sets!  Plus…Ai and Thermoweb are participating in a product swap so be sure to check out the DT samples this week and read below for a chance to win one of two grand prizes!

Here I used the Merriest Christmas Set (4790) and some vintage looking papers to create my card.  I also used some Gold Deco Foil and the Foil Adhesive Pen to give my image a “gilded” framed edge.

I originally stamped the Santa with black ink but then I didn’t think it would look much like the gilded era if I colored him with Copics..lol.. so I flipped it over (as we stampers do! ha!) and stamped him again with a dark red ink.  I could have added strips of adhesive tape to the edges of my image, but I wanted them to be sort of imperfect…so I used the glue pen around the edges and pressed the foil onto the glue.
