Welcome to Friday Flashback! where I share a stamp set or accessory that deserves to be in the spotlight even though it often gets overlooked or has retired. I began this feature to encourage myself and all of us to dust off those horded supplies and give them a new look!
I LOVE the Winter Post set, and needed to pull it out and ink it up for one of my Christams cards. It may NOT surprise you that I don't usually send any two Christmas cards that are the same. :-> Just seems to me that mass producing would take all the fun out of it!
I must add that instead of focusing on a certain set I decided to re-visit a technique that I have not tried in a long time. For today's post, I am introducing a technique that's been around for quite awhile, but with a new twist. Here's today's card:
I used the Cracked Glass technique, but the twist is that I embossed the oval panel first with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Just out of curiousity to see what it would look like if I adhered the cut out skaters on top. Then I got adventurous and sponged on some color in the background and proceeded with the Cracked Glass technique. Here's the result, what do you think??
I can't decide if I like it.
I also embossed the bottom panel of the card with Vintage Wallpaper. I am really into vintage right now, and Christmas seems the perfect holiday for highlighting it.
I am off to a very busy day today. Please know that I appreciate every one of you who visits and hope you leave inpsired to make beautiful things with your Stamps, Paper, and Ink today. I love hearing from you in my comments box for any reason.
I am skipping the supply list today, but if you have a question about the supplies, the technique or any other detail about the card, just send me an e-mail, and I'll get back to you. Or if you prefer, just ask in the comments section, and I'll respond with the answer there for everyone.
Have a great weekend!

It is hard to tell on my computer. Are the skaters also under cracked glass? I love the idea of using that technique with this set, both because it is vintage and it makes it look icy!
