Vintage Christmas, Slide Back Card

A touch of gold, I love this style card,it sits beautifully on the mantle piece ha, ha.
I shadow stamped the tree with caramel ink, simple really, ink once stamp 3 times.
I made up the postcard added it to the base of the card on foam pads, this tops the top from sliding flat as the bottom edge of the card sits behind it. I smudged the address for privacy purposes.
I used the cuttlebug snowflake die and a smaller snowflake punch for the embellishment.


Supplies:-


Stamps- Pretty as a Tree and Winter Post Stampin Up


Papers -Vintage Christmas (Graphic 45)


Card-Old Gold Stardream Ribbon Gold satin from stash


Ink- Caramel and Close to Cocoa Stampin Up
