Somewhat Vintage Christmas

     Okay, I was trying to make a vintage Christmas card. I do believe that the lace doilly, paper and the distress inks (Vintage photo and Tea die) help the look, but i sure didn't make my image look vintage.  This is a Kenny K digi stamp that i won this week from the Kenny K Krafty girlz challenge blog.  Her name is "Mistletoe". I tried something new on this card. I weaved my ribbon up the side of the card after coloring my white grosgrain ribbon with my Gold acrylic Tim Holtz paint.  It worked wonderful! I then added Stickles glitter glue along the edges of the ribbon.  I painted my white pearls with my Copic markers so i could have red and then used my new Whimsy stamp bottle cap stamp and die to cut out the sentiment. It was then mounted with a Tim Holtz Memo Pin. I also added fun flock to my girls white areas of fur.

I love doing paper projects though. Now if someone could just get my other work done. LOL.
