I don't know, it's a bit early for Christmas, but I started to play with my barn die... and all of a sudden my project turned into a Christmas card! I got most of my new Christmas stamps a bit late last year, and because of that I have some new stuff that I need to try out!
Some tips and tricks concerning aging the barn:
- Stamp the wood grain stamp on Pure Poppy cardstock with Pure Poppy ink. (It looks much better in real life!)
- The white trimmings on the barn were aged down with Old Paper Distress ink. (None of my other ink colours looked good at all!)

Oh, this is fabulous! I love the Christmas lights on the barn! My daughter just oohed and ahhed over your card and said: "We need to do that!"
SvaraRaderaWould never think to do this - although it really should be obvious to use a barn at Christmas. Thanks. Great job.
