Merry Monday #70

Good morning! I am guest designing for the Merry Monday Challenge Blog this month! Which means you get to see a Christmas card each Monday in August...using a fantastic sketch! 

Here is the sketch for this week:

This sketch was a bit tricky, but I pulled out a bit of this and that from my stash and came up with a card that sort of walks the line between vintage and trendy!

I stamped the Graphic 45 Santa image and die cut it with a fancy oval die. The paper piercing is part of the die! I used some chalk ink to give it some dimension.

The sentiment stamp is one of my designs. {insert giddy giggling here}  This card is pretty simple and fairly flat for mailing!

Thanks for joining me at Merry Monday today. Make sure  you visit the rest of the team, and go link up your project!
