The latest letter in the Craft Barn Alpha/Dictionary Challenge is Y and as I have finally got out my Christmas stamps in readiness to make a few cards, I have chosen the archaic word for the Christmas season - yuletide.
I brushed Festive Berries Distress Ink over my postcard and then over-stamped using the same ink with a variety of stamps. The main image was stamped with Versamark and embossed with gold sparkly embossing powder and the berries coloured with a bright red Copic marker. I edged the card with part of a pine needle stamp and finished with the dictionary definition which was computer generated.

Very festive, and a great word to use.
Great choice of word to use and I love the traditional red & gold colours.
This word has the advantage of being topical...Love the red and gold colours, very rich!
Great page, I please I am not the only one who has just got the Christmas things out.
Perfect word for this time of year. Great background stamping x
