I've gone a bit mad with them here though and used three of them, all with old fashioned Santa designs. I did giggle a bit to myself though, if you blow the photo right up you will see that two of them are smoking and the one on the left, although gloved on one hand, is using the other to make a rather impolite gesture!
The green background paper is printed from a Joanna Sheen CD, and the sentiment cut from a sheet from the same CD.

Great card Jane and I love the 'improper' Santas! Foil Play sell some lovely things, they're sponsors on the Craft Telly forum.
A super card Jane, fun vintage Santa images.

Quelle jolie idée Jane, ces cartes anciennes sont si charmante, je comprends ta réflexion, j'ai parfois aussi du mal à utiliser certaines choses de peur de les abîmer....merci de jouer avec nous chez 52cct, biz
Wow, what gorgeous vintage images ... love how you framed them with ribbon & doilies ... so very glad you celebrated Christmas PAST with us at Jingle Belles.
Very beautiful design. Your use of the doilies is fab. Thank you for taking part in our 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge - Myrna DT
Different times when we thought smoking was good for us perhaps! The doily really sets them off and adds to the vintage look as do the ribbons and buttons. Thanks for joining in at 52CCT
