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!

This week it's Red's turn to host the challenge and she would like to see our creations that reflect our Christmas Climate!

I live in Colorado and we usually have a ton of snow... so I thought I would use this adorable snowman image from Deep Red Stamps again! :)

It's stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa, colored with Copics and cut out with a MFT Stitched Circle die, I also used a few dies from the MFT Blueprints 9 set to create the tag. I stamped the snowflake background with a Hero Arts stamp & VersaMark ink, the sentiment is a $1 stamp from Michaels.

The little trees were cut with a CB die and the paper is from MME. I used Vintage Photo Distress ink for the distressing... the hand dyed seam binding, wooden heart button and twine are all from my stash.
