This fortnight at Jingle Belles, we're celebrating the Spirit of Christmas Past, which means creating a card with a vintage feeling. That could mean incorporating actual vintage elements, OR using new products that have a vintage style, OR using stamps or images that convey a vintage vibe... whatever says vintage to you.
And to add a little extra incentive to your endeavors, this week we're sponsored by my very own Etsy Shop, Just Enough Stuff, so there's a sweet little pack of vintage Christmassy things for one lucky random cardmaker who links-up their vintage design; be sure to check that out over at Jingle Belles!
Meanwhile, here's what I made:
This week, I elected to go use new (well, new-ish, lol) commercial products that have a vintage/retro flair. My journal card and patterned papers are Authentique, the sentiment is Simple Stories and those luscious velvet holly leaves are absolutely ancient 7 Gypsies. I did lots of distressed edges and a bit of machine stitching to add to the worn, old-fashioned feeling.
Be sure to check out Stephanie's beautiful collage card, plus the cool little prize that's on offer this time at Jingle Belles!
