Hello Friends! I am hopping on Instagram today with Unity Stamp Company! So many wonderful stamps are released for September and we are celebrating. I’m sharing a Christmas card with some vintage and grungy charm.

I know, I know it is still summer but bear with me. Some of my crafty friends like to get a jump on the holidays and start creating now! I love making holiday cards all year round so I don’t feel the crunch in November!

The Details

This card came together very quickly because the beautiful tree and sheet music are just one stamp. All I needed to do was add a bit of color with ink smooshing and a bit of distressing with ink blending. Check out the video to see how easy it is to do.

I embraced the gold with this card! Gold watercolor, sequins, and a shiny sentiment complimented all the different shapes and layers of pattern paper.
