I'm not 100% happy with my card - it's been a while since I made a vintage card and it took a long time to come up with something vintage-y.
I decided to channel Nina, our challenge hostess, and use patterned paper for my card. All three panels on this card come from my Secret Santa gift from Sue, my fellow Merry Monday team member. Thanks, Sue!
I stamped the sleigh using Archival Black ink and sponged and distressed the edges. I did the same with the other two panels but didn't distress the sentiment panel. Instead I popped that up on dimensional tape.
I finished off the card with a brown button and some twine.
Thanks for visiting. The rest of the design team have some wonderful vintage creations to tempt you, so make sure you check them out.
Products used:
Stamps: In the Meadow (PTI)
Ink: Archival Black, Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Kaisercraft Gingerbread Patterned Paper
Accessories: Linen Thread, button
