This is my first vintage-esque Christmas card. I'm not good at creating the look, but I'm practicing. (Or, maybe I'm way off and this isn't vintage to you. I dunno.)Stamps from Inkadinkado.
If I had to do it all over again, I would not have stamped the ornaments in white on the background. Oh well. I stamped the other snowflakey-circles on the burgundy cardstock with versamark. The snowman is matted on Cranberry Crisp and Always Artichoke, which has distressed edges. I stamped the snowman in burgundy, as well as the snowflakes, but I stamped off to create a softer snowflake image. I sponged Bravo Burgundy to give it the warm, worn look. The Merry Christmas oval is on cranberry crisp with burgundy ink.
I really liked the way this card turned out, especially since I rarely use these colors. But I'm sure it would make some sweet soul happy to receive it.

Alana,
I love this! You did a great job. I am hoping to get some stamping done this week, but don't know if I am going to get to it. With decorating for Christmas and getting a package off to Elder Rapp and babysitting sweet Granddaughter. Aaaaaaaa! I will just have to live through you! I hope your Thanksgiving was a good one!
