I love the "barcode" effect of the scarf and hat brim and decided to base my card around it.
I masked off most of the card front and used alcohol markers to rule a random barcode design in the space remaining. Then I stamped and heat embossed the word Christmas, using aqua ink and clear powder, and stamped the smaller words in red without embossing. To tidy the edges of the barcode I added a gold peel-off border which picks up on the small amount of gold in the inspiration photo. Finally I backed the barcode area with white card to avoid the ink showing through on the inside.
I am, of course, sharing this with Christmas Kickstart and am also popping in to Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge

What a splendid idea to use the barcode effect on the card! Something new! Great card, Jane!
I am so glad I now can post comments again. Have not been able do it for years. Changed my browser, and that works.
I wish you a nice day!

Fabulous take on the header, I love the festive stripes of the "barcode" you created and the little gold strip to finish off the edge was inspired - great card!
