A Vintage Style Christmas

All Dressed Up is 2 - woo hoo this means PARTY!!!!

Apart from a freebie been given away very generously by Wendy (check out the main blog page) we're having a blog hop for the New Release today.

You can win one of these images by visiting each and every member and leaving a kind comment on their blog as well as leaving a comment on the main blog.

(Please be respectful and only leave one comment per blog and you MUST visit each blog to qualify for a prize).

Each team member (all 14 of us) will then select one person who has left a comment ON OUR INDIVIDUAL BLOGS and the lucky winners (all 14 of you) will select one image from the Etsy store - you will even be able to choose one of the brand new releases!!

The winners names will be announced ONE WEEK FROM TODAY

I've got the full blog list at the end of my post :D

So now to share my inspirations with you.  This image is called Christmas Present.
I've coloured it with Copics, cut it out with a Spellbinders die and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz antique linen.

The tiny stars you can see are left overs from when I've been cutting with Spellbinder dies and I've saved them up to use here.

Here's a close up of the resin corner I've used - you can find these at Live & Love Crafts.  you can also see some vintage seam binding 

This is the other end of the seam biding here I've hand tied a double bow.  Added to this is a double star charm which you can find from The Ribbon Girl.  The roses you can find at Wild Orchid Crafts.


The design papers are all from the Vintage Frost basics - Maja Designs.  All have been distressed with Tim Holtz antique linen.  The final bits to mention are some cream organza ribbon and some pearl self adhesive gems.

So there you have my completed vintage style Christmas card.

Don't forget to leave a comment on all the blogs :D
