I made this card earlier this week, and with everything going on, I am finally posting it now. And it would make better sense to post it tomorrow, so the post would be on a separate day. However, the challenge I made this card for closes at the end of today. Uhg.
The wonderful folks over @ the Shabby Tea Room, have this perfect challenge: The Magic of Christmas. Ok, the requirements are: pink, neutral, snowflake, flower, and gold. The perfect colors for vintage!
Here is their inspirational photo:
Here is my card:
This card was actually fun to make. The Christmas ornament pattern paper came from my stash. It is probably around 3 yrs old. I thought that it was the perfect pattern for this challenge. The ornaments are actually embossed on the paper. The little postcard, I actually made. I first cut a piece of vanilla card stock to the size I needed. I then added all the stamps. It's a collection of three different stamp set (but only two companies). I added the string of pearls to give it a feminine touch.
The paper flower was white originally, but it didn't look like it was suppose to be there. So, I took out my Blushing Bride smooch spray and gave it some color - pink! The tiny tag was hand stamped and adhered to a pink button with some linen thread. Which lays on top of a gold glitter snowflake!
For the 'Noel' tag, I first stamped the verse in Soft Suede classic ink, and then heat embossed the snowflakes. I adhered the tag with some foam tape to give it some height off the card front. The corset is from a new Stampin' Up! stamp set that is due out next month. (a little sneak peak.) I used my postage stamp scissors to create the fun border around that matt.
I added one of my all time favorite crochet trims to the bottom of the card. I layered this cute sewn ribbon on top of the crochet trim. I thought the polka dot pattern paper looked vintage with the softness of the crochet trim and the silky-ness of the sewn satin ribbon.
All the edges were distressed to help with an aged look and feel. Thank you for stopping by!
