I tried to go with a bit of a Vintage style for this card, but I stink at that, but had fun trying haha! Since I used the absolutely gorgeous papers from Maja Design again, I felt I needed to at least try this style! I went out and found a free clipart of this Santa and made a little advent.
I used jump rings to hold the little numbers that can be flipped to the back of the card.
Here's a shot of the cute Christmas wooden shapes from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I tie-dyed my Vintage Seam Binding by spritzing with Peeled Paint, Walnut, and Pineneedles Distress Inks, then sprayed with water and set outside to dry.
I love the gorgeous big natural lace from WOC, isn't it so pretty? The large Poinsettia was also added to my card and the stamens removed. I spritzed it a bit with Walnut Stain DI just to tone down the brightness of the red.
I sure hope you will join in our challenge this time around. There are always amazing prizes up for grabs!
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit, they make my day!
