Retro Christmas Card

Christmas in August continues at Red Rubber Designs.  Have you checked out all the great Christmas stamps that are featured this month?!  For this card I used a mix of Christmas stamp sets:  "Peace on Earth" for the sentiment, "Gift for You" and "Mister Penguin".  I love the retro look of the packages, so I went with a retro color combination of crimson red and olive green.  The penguin was stamped on white card stock, colored and cut out to give it dimension and the feeling of running through the aisles of Macy's on a last minute Christmas shopping spree!  (See how flushed his cheeks are?!)  The packages were stamped in Moulin Rouge and Jardin Moss from Palette Ink.

Join in the holiday spirit all month at Red Rubber Designs!  Next week is the "Just Because" challenge.  Post your project on Flicker for a chance to win!!

  3. Macy's look out...the Penguin is on the loose! By all of the bags in his possession, it looks like he did lots of shopping.
    Very cute, KC!
