I don't usually make Christmas cards in January, but this is a new year and I will be making a couple every month so I have more than enough when the big day arrives. Here is another vintage style card using fabulous Pion papers, Rose Petal vintage style seam binding, dusky rose mini ric rac and 12mm cream picot cotton lace. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink stamped with cocoa brown ink onto kraft card. (To everyone who knows Andrea, don't worry, I have bought her some more papers to make up for all the sheets I have 'borrowed' from the ones I bought her for Christmas :-)
The papers were stitched with the sewing machine and I added mulberry rosebuds from my stash plus some tea-dye distressed white pretty blossoms and greenery made with Magnolia doohickey dies.
I decorated a glasssine bag for the card, but would post it out in a sturdy mailing box.
The Ribbon Girl is giving a prize on the ABC Christmas Challenge today so I was invited to be a Guest DT and this is my card. If you enter every fortnightly challenge you will have 25 cards ready for next Christmas!! I will be joining in for sure! Why not pop over - there are some fab prizes to be won and wonderful Christmas cards from the Design Team and Guests
