Jingle Belles' new challenge is all about a wonderful vintage Christmas. I really love vintage, antique Christmas decorations so this challenge was right up my alley.
Here's my card, using the Tim Holtz Cozy Christmas set.
To give this image more of a vintage feel, I stamped it on watercolor paper and painted it with watercolors. This just gives me a subtler touch of color. I added some clear Stickles to the fur and a little bit of clear shimmer pen to the berries and candy cane. Hmmm....I may need to find some Christmas sprigs and try to recreate this image as a table decoration. Thanks to Jingle Belles for the inspiration!
