Today's card was made for the long tall card challenge. I love this format! We sell the long narrow envelopes to fit this size and they're a nice departure from the regular-sized cards. The spark of inspiration behind this one came from leafing through a magazine, where I saw a card with a Christmas sentiment at the end of which the designer had added a white Santa mustache. I thought, "Hey, we have one of those our stamps, now!" so I pulled out the Many Mustaches stamp, embossed it in white on white cardstock and hand-cut it. Then I added some snowflakes in the background using the Serene Snowflakes set and added some die-cut letters from the Timeless Type die set.
The colors were pulled from the Color Coach color suggestions. I really like how it turned out. So cute and fun!
