Hello everyone hope all is well in your world. Today I am showing a vintage card using a wonderful stamp from the Crafty Individuals range. CI 399 'Winter Wonderland.
I used Centura Pearl cardstock for the card base in a gold. I then embossed onto cream card using the Vintage embossing folder from Crafter's Companion range. I added some pearl gilding wax to highlight the Vintage words. Next I stamped the beautiful Winter Wonder CI 399 stamp with black Archival ink, and used a little stickles to highlight the gorgeous little snowflakes.
I cut out a shape from a spellbinder die and backed it with a lovely burgandy colour. I added a further piece of card in ivory as a mat along with the vintage piece embossed mat and distressed them around all the edges, curled them and added a little Distress ink in Fired Brick. I assembled it all and added a bow in gold organza ribbon, along with a few berries and leaves. The final piece was to add a sentiment of Season's Greetings stamped and embossed in gold.
I am entering this into the Crafty Individual Christmas Frenzy competition

I love the layers, the soft colours and design. Brilliant card, Carol! Thanks for your entry!
ReplyDeleteThe burgundy background really shows up that die piece to it's best advantage and I really love the shabby background you created to on this wonderful card. Anne xx
