Winter is Calling! Stamp-a-Stack Card #2


The set is a retired Stampin' Up! set called Winter is Calling. I really liked it a lot and had to have it back then. I'm glad I got it then because now it is retired. But would you believe it, this is the first time I have used it though for a card. What a bummer that it had to be retired! It reminds me of a vintage postcard.
The In Colors for 2008 were used, Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss. The long scallop punch was used and also the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder. I like the colorbook technique - meaning staying in the lines, so this card was great fun to do. I used the AquaPainter to pick up ink off the top of the ink pad.
A couple of weeks ago when I stopped at JoAnn Fabrics, I noticed that the red/green color combo this year was similar to the colors of this card. There were tins, napkins, trays, etc of this color combo. Enjoy.
