Here's another view of my card:

I have to admit that I wasn't too sure about this theme and to approach it so I ended up hedging my bets a bit!

I used some wood effect patterned paper from Stampin' Up as my background.  Then I also stamped with one of the stamps from The Winter Woods stamp set.

I used Crumbcake cardstock and stamped with Early Espresso ink stamping off for the tree in the centre.

For my project, I decided to make a set of three ATCs.

I used Vintage Photo and Tea Dye Distress Inks on which card applied with sponges and then sprayed with a mist of water.  I let the water settle on the cards and then blotted them with kitchen roll.

Once they were dry I stamped various Stampin' Up stamps on top together with the same sentiment (also from Stampin' Up) in black Memento ink.

To finish I layered the stamped panels on to black card.

As soon as I saw this theme I knew I wanted to make a shirt card using some of the Plaid Tidings paper I bought recently from Stampin' Up but the end result wasn't quite what I'd planned!

I had intended to make an origami shirt to put on the front of the card but after two attempts I gave up and decided to make my own design instead!

I embossed the tie and handkerchief with a Stampin' Up embossing folder and added a birthday sentiment with outline stickers at the top of the card.

To make my card I used my favourite stamp and die set from Uniko Designs - Big and Bold Happy Clear Stamp Set and Die Bundle which is here.
