Vintage Season of Joy

I received these vintage holiday images in a blog candy prize last year.  They are something that I never would have bought for myself, however, I have had so much fun using them on cards.  You can see other cards I created with the images here & here. 

This card uses the Sketch at the Basic Grey Challenge blog with papers from the Wassail collection (which I think work particularly well for vintage designs).  I sponged the white snowflake paper liberally with Ranger Antique Linen Distress ink, so it would coordinate with the aged look of the image.

 

The border is the EKSuccess Dotted Scallop and the sentiment is Stampin' Up.  I finished with a vew adhesive pearls from Joy Craft.

Hi Steph, I love your card, the image is so beautiful and gives your card a wonderful vintage feel. Gorgeous paper, Wassail is a favourite of mine and how you sponged the edges really does continue the vintage theme. Great that you could join us at BG again this week. Chris :)
