A very striking vintage-feeling RD card. I’m in the no glitter needed camp! Xxx
Love your make and yes I would add glitter but that's just me,

Hi Kathy, your card is lovely. Thanks so much for joining us over at AVVCC. Hugs Zowie x
What a wonderful idea to use this stencil as a tree Kathy, and does have that vintage feel using the kraft card. It looks great with or without glitter, it's always personal taste, I am not a glitter person although I do use some of the glittery EP's. x
Oooo what an unusual design, it looks fabby, thanks for joining us at Rudolph Days Challenge this month, Luv Sam x
Love the mix of vintage and contemporary looks on this Kathy .. personally I would say no glitter due to the vintage look of it, but it's all personal preference isn't it?

Beautiful vintage-feel Christmas card. Super clever use of the stamp. I like the alignment of the sentiment. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Stencil Challenge.

No glitter needed...I like the crisp clean feel of it as is.
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
