Happy St-Nicholas day

-
Happy St-Nicholas Day for those of you that celebrate it :)  My SIL and brother do.  So I made some cards for them and the kids.  I will be sharing one today and some later.

I really love playing in the great linky over at Crafty Secrets because you get some great set just for having participating!!!  And last month's set was just perfect for this card!  It's Vintage Santa set
Vintage Santa Digital Stamp Set DAS-122
So here's my 1st card with it :) I left the image as is.
I used some papers from Authentique - Believe.  I used my DCWV - Latte paper for the sparkly paper.  I used some ribbon from my stash.  The embossing was done using my Elizabeth Pine Cone Embossing folder.

Here's a closer look at the great image.
Love the great vintage feel to this!!!

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
  1. Crafty Secrets - Dec linky party
  2. Crafty creations challenges - Embossing
  3. The sisterhood of crafters - Santa claus
That's it for now!  Hope you have a great Saturday!!!

Hugs
