Vintage Christmas

Here is a vintage Christmas card that I made yesterday. This was my first time making a vintage card. So how did I do? The stamp that I used is from Belles n Whistles and is called Baking With Nana. It's hard to see in this photo. But to soften the look of the white cardstock and white flowers I changed the tint of the paper & flowers by adding brown chalk to them.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Susie & Vikki's Christmas Club: Very Vintage Christmas

Penny's Challenge: Anything Goes

    Very CUTE Mary!! Good thinking to use brown chalk to soften the white. It really does give it that vintage feel *Ü* Thanks for joining us last week at Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenges (and sorry I'm so late getting around to commenting!) Have a blessed Sunday! *Ü*
