CAS Vintage

I was looking at my Saturday inspirations, and found these challenges:

Sketches: Retro Sketches, 52 Christmas Card Throwdown
Less is More: Non-traditional Christmas colors
Our Creative Corner: Use a Nature Photo and a vintage style
Just Us Girls: Wreath

I found this photo of my girls and their snowman:


So I found it in my file under Feb. 2012, added a Sepia tone in PicMonkey, and edited that big black leaf off of Susanna's face:

Looks pretty vintage-y, right? Then I printed it on cardstock, cropped it down, and added it to a 5x7 card with some layers of black, white and kraft.


I added some pink sparkles for a non-traditional pop of color.

  

Materials used:
Cardstock: Black, White Daisy, Kraft
Stamps: Holiday Wishes, Avonlea Scrapbooking WOTG
Ink: White Daisy, Chocolate, VersaMark
Other: White embossing powder, Prisma Glitter, Pink & Purple Sparkles, Cocoa Ribbon Rounds, White Baker's Twine, Florets Just Blooms Paper Shapes
