The challenge from the Jingle Belles was the Spirit of Christmas Past. Here's what they said: "We're asking you to create a card celebrating all things vintage. It could mean incorporating true vintage elements ... or just a vintage style ... whatever says "vintage" to you."
Can I just say "YAY"? I love vintage. I have a lot of vintage-y type things, but I'd like to spend a long time really working on this and I was out of town for a few days...and well...I guess my whining does no good, eh? A few days should be enough time for any normal person. I'm just not normal. :D
Oh well.
Here's what I managed to pull together yesterday. Had to let him dry overnight, though:
I wish the image was true vintage, but it sure looks that way, doesn't it? Love that Santa. And that crochet is soooo soft and floppy, you'd swear it was vintage! However, there IS a true vintage item on my card. The button. I almost hated to use it, but it was a perfect match and added such balance.
Thanks for looking! Have a great week. xo
