Vintage Christmas ~ Dynamic Duos #28

 

Hello everybody!  This is my second post as a Dynamic Duos design team member.  I'm so very excited to be a part of all of this! 

The challenge this week is to use Cherry Cobbler and Sahara Sand.  The rules say that neutrals are welcome, so I added Early Espresso to mine.  However when I read through the rules again, I realized that it says black, white, vanilla, skin colors and craft are welcome.....maybe espresso isn't considered a neutral?  I'll need to check into that.  In the future I will be more careful and try to stick closer to the main colors. 

 I also incorporated the sketch from Merry Monday #40 .  I flipped the sketch on it's side.

I had a lady ask me to make a christmas card for her mother and she wanted an oldish, Thomas Kincade feel.  I just purchased the Christmas Lodge single tree stamp and felt it might be a good fit.  I'm not a fan of two papers butted up next to each other without a ribbon or something to cover the seam, so I added a couple strands of espresso bakers twine, tied into a bow, to cover the seam.  I also used the lace ribbon to add to the vintage feel.  I hope she enjoys her handmade christmas card!
