This week at Jingle Belles we're celebrating the Spirit of Christmas Past … which means creating a card with a vintage design.
That could mean incorporating actual vintage elements, using new products that have a vintage style, or using stamps or images that convey a vintage vibe – whatever says vintage to you.
And to add a little extra incentive to your endeavors, this week we are sponsored by Lauren's fantastic Etsy Shop Just Enough Stuff, so there's a sweet little pack of vintage Christmassy things for one lucky card member who links-up their vintage design.
My card started with a vintage photo image from Tim Holtz Layers & Paper Dolls that I covered with clear Gesso and then colored with Derwent Inktense Pencils. We tried lots of mediums, but I thought this method gave the brightest color.
I layered it with a vintage doily, vintage dictionary page and vintage trading stamps. I finished with a combination of vintage-like elements from Tim Holtz and sticker sentiments.
And remember, to add a little extra incentive to your endeavors, we're sponsored by Lauren's fantastic Etsy Shop Just Enough Stuff, so there's a Deluxe Christmas Ephemera Assortment of vintage holiday goodies (see photo below) for one lucky card member who links-up their vintage-inspired design.
