BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party

 Welcome to the first day of the BYSH Cardmakers Falling for the Holidays Linky Party. The party runs October 20-27,2023.  Once again we have some awesome sponsors who are giving away some fantastic prizes.

Here is my first project for the party.

My card today features the A Wonderful Tree red rubber stamp from Unity Stamps who is one of our sponsors.

My card base is some MFT Kraft cardstock cut, scored and folded to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base. The stamp gave me a vintage feel so that's what I made a vintage card. 

I stamped my image on some white cardstock. Since the image is a single stamp I colored it with markers to stamp it. I did have to stamp it multiple times so was glad I used my Mini Misti. Once my image was stamped I let it dry for awhile. 

While waiting for the ink to dry I made my card base. I have a paper pad that I got from Hobby Lobby that is all vintage paper. I found this diagonal striped paper that I thought worked well for my card. I cut the pattern paper to 4" X 5 1/4" and adhered it to my card base. 

I then went back to my stamped image and distressed it with some Tea Dye Distress ink. I then cut my image down close to the image. I then distressed the edges of the paper with my scissors. I then inked the edges with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I then adhered that to the center of the pattern paper.

To finish my card I stamped a sentiment on a scrap of white cardstock with black ink. I used a sentiment banner die to cut out the sentiment.  distressed the sentiment strip with the same Distress Inks and adhered it to the card below my stamped image with some thin foam strips. I added some small green, red, and gold gemstones to the tree.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will pop over to the BYSH Cardmakers and link up a project or two for a chance to win one of the awesome prizes. See you soon.
