12 Weeks of Christmas - Week 1

Here is my first treat for my 12 Weeks of Christmas. I made this card for a swap I hosted  last month in which the theme was "Vintage Christmas." I am so pleased with Stampin' Up's! new vintage products they introduced in the 2010/2011 Idea Book & Catalog. I used the tea stain and mahogany inks from the distressing kit to make this card look old and "dirty." The pearls add that little touch to attract your eye to the sentiment. The flowers are water colored and I stamped them twice, cut them out, and then layered them with dimensional to give it a 3 dimensional look. As a finishing touch I spritzed the entire card with the Gold Smooch spritz to give it a little sparkle.
