Kitsch Christmas

Hello there :)

Funny how styles come back around isn't it!! I can remember when I used to send rather twee Christmas cards to my school friends... I sent quite a few so mum used to buy the cheapest pack of cards she could find!! I think using the school Christmas postbox was the main attraction for sending them actually.. Lol :)

I had to have a go at re-creating the retro look of Christmas with the 

 Kitsch Christmas stamps from Avery Elle...

I also had another go at no-line colouring.... I seem to get on better doing this 

technique with animals more than any other image!! It also suits the kitsch look if you ask me :)

I sponged that classic teal background into a rectangular shape and added a few pine sprigs to frame the little deer. That fabulous font just finishes it off like a cherry on top of a cake..not forgetting a smattering of glitter too, that's a definite addition to the retro look :)

I'm adding this to the Less is More gallery this week as it's their 300th challenge and the theme is CELEBRATION & FESTIVALS

This was the challenge that inspired and shaped my cardmaking genre although I don't have the time to play along so much these days.. Well done LiM and all the fabulous design team, past and present :)

This card is featured on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today including links to the products

 I've used from the Seven Hills Crafts shop :)

Thanks for stopping by :)
