I used a torn music page adhered to a kraft panel as my background. Before doing so, I sponged Distress Ink around the torn edges. I stamped the various trees, holly leaves, and berries repeatedly over the panel. I also stamped some tiny snowflakes in white but they are barely visible. I added a strip of torn washi tape along the bottom and a remnant of same vertically at the top left corner. The vintage teddy bear is from a die-cut pack, and I finished off the card with a few vintage poinsettia stickers.
- Stamps: Trees, snowflakes, thin stripe (Paperbabe Stamps Bottle Brush Tree Set), holly, berries (Paperbabe Stamps Reindeer Fusions)
- Ink: Ranger Archival Library Geen, Memento Bamboo Leaves and Cottage Ivy, Ancient Page Cardinal, Avery Elle Pure White, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
- Other: K and Company Vintage Die-cut Pack, music sheet, washi tape, and vintage stickers from my stash
