Vintage Dasher

Time for the next PPA challenge. PPA19 brings this Christmas photo to us for inspiration. You ready to play?











I love the vintage look of this Christmas inspiration. My interpretation, Kraft and Soft Suede just speak vintage to me. I wish I had a sled for my card, but I have my Dasher that pulls the sled :) Love that stamp and for only $8.95 ya just gotta have it!
* Standard card base of Kraft cardstock given that extra vintage feel by using my Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede ink to distress the edges
* Decorated my card front with the Serene'est' Snowflakes in Soft Suede and Frost White Shimmer Paint (sorry- difficult to see in the photo)
* Dasher was inked in Soft Suede, antlers touched with Frost White Shimmer Paint and stamped onto Whisper White. HINT: Shimmer Paints stay wet a bit longer than our Classic Ink and will allow embossing powder to stick and heat emboss. So while the antlers were still a bit 'wet', I sprinkled on a bit of Iridescent Ice and heat embossed to set my sparkle.
* The edges of the Whisper White were distressed with my finger nail and then inked with my Sponge Dauber and Soft Suede ink
* A snowy drift is kreated under Dashers hooves with some white Chunky Essentials glitter. Tip: Ran a hilly line with Crystal Effects and filled in underneath the line with more Crystal Effects and then sprinkled on the glitter.
* My sentiment from Many Merry Messages was inked in Soft Suede and stamped onto a strip of Kraft paper. Slipped the end into my Photo Corner Punch to kreate my 'tails'. Using a Crop a Dile, I added a Jumbo Eyelet to the other end.
* Wide Choc Chip Striped ribbon was threaded through the . The tails of the ribbon frayed by gently pulling the threads apart. And a linen thread bow tied around my ribbon, finished off my accent.

Hope you have time to play with the PPA. Leave me a comment below and let me know what you think of my vintage interpretation. Happy Stamping!!
