Welcome to a vintage Christmas. This stamp was originally designed based on actual ornaments from the early fifties . It lends itself quite rightly to some distressing and lots of shimmer.Choose a  red card 41/4x51/2  for your card base.Cut ecru coloured  card stock 4x5 .Stamp ornament image in centre..Branch is coloured with tombow markers.All ornaments are coloured with sakura gel pens.You can really see the metalic shine.Take a scrap piece of paper and tear a centre square out of it. Place this over the image.Use scattered straw(distress ink from Ranger Industries) to distress inside the area.Remove mask and distress frame around the outer edge.If you like the torn look tear the bottom off pulling towards you to get the most texture. Stamp Merry Christmas on a piece of green card stock with black(memories ink from Stewart Superior). Mount on front of card  with double sided foam. Inside your card stamp corners with corner holly stamp. Tear an ecru piece of card stock for your final stamping of "Never a Christmas morning.."Distress edges. Mail your card that has been completely stamped with Under Construction stamps.
