Christmas Postcard

Here's my card from our Monday night craft session.  This week we all used this fabulous Stampendous stamp which is a recent purchase.  Do I need Christmas stamps?  No!  But I just had to have this beauty.  I think it'll be a very versatile stamp so I should get plenty mileage out of it.  Everyone had a different take on this image, I decided to stamp onto kraft and add some colour with pencils.  I must used them more often, they usually get overshadowed by my Promarkers.  I also went in with some Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink round the edge.
The papers I've used are Papermania Silent Night, a stunning vintage pack from a couple of years ago.  I ended up buying two packs as I love them so much, I'm glad I did as I don't think they're easy to get hold of now.
The pine cones and sprig were made with Spellbinders Autumn Foliage dies, I'm so in love with them at the moment!  To finish, I added some brown organza ribbon and variegated metallic rickrack, and a few brown gems.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges - 
 ABC Christmas Challenge - U is for up to you
Deep Ocean - #36 - anything goes 
Flourishes - #191 - winter 
Totally Stampalicious -  Christmas
Amusing Challenges - outdoor scene

    Hi Wendy, love the vintage look, the scene is so wintry looking, yes I think it could be adapted for other occasions.

    Stumbled upon your blog via a search for postcard stamps!!! I laughed right out loud(no kidding) when I read the name of your blog! You must have a great sense of humor! Love it! And I really love what you have done with this stamp too! I just might have to have me yet another Christmas stamp that I don't need! hahaha
