Vintage Christmas 2
This my interpretation of the Vintage Christmas Card I made at Cherish The Thought. The background is burgundy cardstock run through the textile Cuttlebug embossing folder and white pigment ink rubbed over the high points. 2.5 inch lace is added near the bottom of the background. I used an old family photo printed in sepia and edged with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I don't have the snowflake die, so I rubber stamped the snowflake on white cardstock with Vintage Photo ink and embossed with pearl white translucent embossing powder, the cut out the shape. This was also rubbed with vintage photo ink and a rhinestone added to the centre. The Quietfire Design quote is stamped on cream cardstock with Vintage Photo distress ink and the edges are rubbed with the same ink, and burgundy ribbon is tied around the piece. The snowflake and quote are mounted with foam tape.
