Not many people would go this route – so why don’t I? I’ve been on a retro card kick lately as I’ve been looking for new ideas – and taking old vintage cards and changing them up to make them modern is a fun twist for my creative brain!

Gorgeous Sandy, I love them both. But I have a favorite and that is the Dreaming of a great white Christmas, it’s so funny the shark with the Christmas tree on his back.
I love that you did the cards in pink, stunning!
Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful day.
Love this! Thanks for sharing. Also, just wondering, what do you tape the water paper onto to keep it flat? Thanks.
These are fantastic!
HaHaHa. Great puns for these adorable card. Love the pink bg instead of blue. Fabulous.
Fabulous cards; thanks for sharing!
This is just the best! I got this stamp set a while back, but hadn’t inked it up yet – not sure what colors, etc to go with… I have a daughter who loves sharks, and also has a law degree, so this will be perfect for her! Thanks for this slightly off-beat approach to a really funny Christmas card! I can hardly wait till she sees it!
