Day 5 in the Falling for the Holidays 2022 {BYSHC} Linky Party.
So, I had fun putting this card together with paper scraps, dies, stamps and ephemera from my holiday card stash. (I don’t know about you, but I hate to throw away paper.) So, I began by piecing together the background with vintage Paper Studio papers scraps. I then pulled out an older Impression Obsession die, called Christmas Tree, and a vintage textured gold paper. I decided to back the diecut with paper I added white embossed snowflakes and red pen “ornament” dots to. Then I found a winter Tim Holtz paper doll I could combine with the tree and added rosy cheeks.
I then went to town looking for other embellishments I could add to the card. I found a Joy die from a magazine and used that with the same paper. I found a brad, an old braided ribbon, and other odds and ends. I fussy cut some of the ephemera to fit the card. I used a Unity stamp to add another “No Peeking” embellishment using Unity’s Ticket to Christmas.
I must admit, I do like collages of vintage cards; all the layers and textures!
Thanks for stopping by… till next time, happy crafting!
