Merry Monday's Christmas blog asks us to use holly on our card.
I loved the vintage feel of our inspiration photo, so I tried to recreate
a Christmas past.
I began with Waltzingmouse's Festive Foliage,
and an antiquing method Heather Nichols showed us one Make it Monday.
By clear embossing an image several times, cracking and inking it, the image
takes on a very vintage look.
I guess I enjoyed it, because I did it several times on this card!
Frame is Memory Box cut from a foil paper.
PTI Cardstocks
Tag is an ancient Graphic 45 I picked up at Tuesday Morning one year.
Still time to play!
