I grabbed a few new TAC sets a few weeks back. They had a surprise 50% off sale for their demos, how nice is that? So, I got a few sets I'd been eyeing, but waiting to get. This was one of them. Such a pretty set. Not my 
usual style, but something about this Santa set just grabbed me. I inked this puppy with Brilliance Coffee Bean ink pad. It has a nice shimmer to it, plus a nice pretty deep color. That matched TAC's Winchester paper line perfectly, so I ended up making a nontraditional Christmas card. The soft blues in the paper went so nicely with some snowflake items I had floating around. I used a layout from Just Us Girls.
It's been awhile since I've been able to play along on Sparkle's Christmas Challenge, happy I was able to complete a Christmas card on time today!
It's also Bring Out Bling for All Sorts.
Thanks for stopping by.
Supplies: TAC Vintage Santa, Winchester SWIC, SU Baja cardstock, stickles, Brilliance ink pad.

Beautiful take on our sketch - love this Santa and the non traditional colors work very nicely for a vintage type feel. Super cute snowflake embellies too. Thanks SO MUCH for playing along with Just Us Girls. Hope to see you again on Saturday for our next technique challenge!

Lovely, lovely card! So pretty :)
SOOOO Pretty! Great image, papers...details, it is all so pretty!
Anna - so very pretty!!! Love the colors you chose too!
Elegant and beautiful Anna!
I don't think blue & brown are "non traditional" at all - makes me think of winter skies & bare tree branches reaching toward Heaven. Lovely winter images. Now, if you were REALLY going non-traditional, you would have done, pinks, purples, oranges, & yellows! *LOL*
You did a lovely job & fit the challenges nicely, too.
(PS - I have that set, too, & think it's Da Bomb!).
