deck the halls

i sent out 95% of my christmas cards today! it felt good! but i still have a few more stragglers to write and send. and since i was in the spirit, i made another christmas card while i was at it! :)

i was inspired by the current challenge at runway inspired which has this as their inspiration picture:


wacky, right?! i love it! lol!

so i went with the colors, and came up with this completely non-traditional christmas card! and i'm in love with it!
i used two sweet stamp shop stamp sets: tree traditions (which i have been wanting FOREVER) and holiday sentiments! fun!


the car and tree are paper pieced and popped up with foam squares for dimension. and i added glossy accents to the windows and light. the snowflakes and sentiment are heat embossed and i used some fun 'street' washi for the road! i think this is so fun! ha ha! and even sort of masculine! if there is such a thing for a christmas card! :)

so that's it! it's finally friday! and i can't wait to start the weekend! read: sleep! i'm exhausted! lol!
enjoy!
