Silver, White and Brown for Christmas

I believe this is the first time I use the color combination of silver and brown, it's one I'm going to use again, I think it turned out really well with my vintage image.

The background paper is kraft covered with white gesso. I used my paper crimper to get the textured look. For the second layer I used glitter vellum paper.

The poinsettias are made with a MB die and a pearl brad from my stash. I cut two pieces of a paper straw, tied them together with brown string and added a silver snowflake charm. I stitched with white thread around the edges and I distressed the edges of the image.


This card is for these challenges:
1) Inkspirational - Christmas Optional Twist no Red or Green
2) Sugar Creek Hollow - Vintage Christmas with twist non traditional colors
3) Moving along with the Times - Inspired by a Song (Hark the herald angels sing)

    This card has a lovely vintage look. You have successfully combined the distressed corrugated paper so beautifully with the silver shimmer of the flowers. Love the bit of twine and the glittered vellum. So perfect with that wonderful image!
