Well I fiddled around with a number of ideas and then went to town on this card. Brown paper just screams old and vintage to me so I stamped a Tim Holtz design in the middle of a piece of brown wrapping paper and overstamped with the verse. The Santa was stamped in Vintage Sepia versafine ink and the verse stamped in Smokey Gray.

I used Old Lipstick distress ink to ink up the Santa a little and the sides and then scrunched the piece.

I ironed it and then couldn't leave well enough alone. I attached it to a piece of chipboard and modge podged it. Then layered to black and then to red.

I added a sentiment from Inkadinkado and a little gemstone for sparkle.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone... See you soon!!!
