Vintage Christmas Collage

This morning's paper play in the studio had less messy incidents than yesterday (thankfully).

I created a collage around a vintage foreign postcard I picked-up at the Create/Exchange (the stamp from the postcard is on the bottom right of the card).  I took my inspiration from the Peace on Earth Christmas Challenge with my snowy house, snowy animals and pops of red.

 

 

I started with a piece of recycled packaging and a vintage piece of paper ticket to build-up the background on the ivory card base.  Next I added the postcard and built around it with vintage trading stamps, Tim Holtz Vintage pieces, and a vintage squirrel stamp from my mother-in-law's treasured stash.

 

 

I finished with a scattering of sentiment stickers and the sentiment in the circle from my Tim Holtz Ephemera.

 

 

And the Christmas Kickstart Challenge is - If It's Christmassy, Link It Up!
