Monochromatic Vintage Christmas Card


I've used the sketch from "Sketch N Stash" as inspiration for my design.
I've kept to a color scheme with brown and beige tones and went for a vintage inspired look.
I've used a Spellbinder die to make a frame for the image, which is cut out from design paper.
For the sentiment I've used a rubber stamp from Panduro, and I've used dies to cut out the snowflakes.
All elements have been inked with "old paper" Distress Ink. I've also used some brown lace.
