Christmas Collage and Vintage Christmas Card Bundle

I just love this background stamp in the Holiday mini, Christmas Collage. So much stuff you can do with this stamp. It isn't just a background stamp! For example, in this card, I would call it the main image.

I used the circle area in the stamp to spotlight an image from another set, Welcome Christmas. Love the images from this set too - reminds me of childhood! This card was inspired by the combination of genesis's and ponygirl40's work on SCS.

I loaded the collage stamp with Versamark and Chocolate Chip ink, stamped, and clear embossed. I then sponged with Always Artichoke and More Mustard ink, spritzed with Log Cabin Smooch Spritz, and distressed the edges. The highlighted image and sentiment were embossed in gold on DSP. You can click on the image to see it more magnified and check out the details.
