A Vintage Christmas

Good morning everyone! 

Today is the start of a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas and this month we want to see your Vintage cards :)
My card features a cute snowman image from Deep Red Stamps... it's stamped onto cream cardstock with Rich Cocoa Memento ink and colored with Copics. The paper is from The Paper Studio and the sentiment is an old $1 stamp from Michaels. I used a Sizzix die for the dotted rectangle, a Tim Holtz die for the double stitched rectangle and a Echo Park die for the doily. All edges were distressed and to finish it up I added hand dyed seam binding.

I hope you can join us and don't forget to pop on over to the main challenge blog to check out the rest of the teams beautiful cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by and for the comments you leave!

WOW! You've done such an amazing job killing this challenge Tammmy! LOVE that image and the sepia monochromatic color scheme you have going on here! Fabulous musical background and gorgeous details!

Hi Tammy! This is such a fun vintage sepia-inspired color palette! I would have never thought of taking more modern images and coloring them this way! It's inspired and I plan to "case" this technique in the future! Hope everyone is well and staying safe!
Hugs - Rachelle : )
