Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I don't feel like I do vintage well.
I love the look when others do it, but somehow I just can't capture that look.
The lovely ladies at Jingle Belles awarded me this embossing folder and I
really wanted to use it for this challenge, so I gave it a try.
Thanks Jingle Belles.
I sponged some Distress Oxide inks around the edges to give it a more vintage look.
A vintage image in my Christmas box was added it to the top of the embossing.
Then I watercolored some die cut holly and tucked it in around the
vintage print.

I think you do great vintage cards - this one is so pretty. Love the embossing and the vintage photo. The holly leaves look great around it. Congrats on winning that EF.
I think you did vintage beautifully Bonnie...this card is gorgeous!! I love the inking around the edges of the embossed panel, and that image and the holly leaves look like they were made to go together! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I think it's beautiful!!
wow! Vintage at its finest is what I see, Bonnie! You've captured the mood and the wonders all in one card - beautiful
Gorgeous vintage image and you showcased it beautifully with the embossing and die cuts, Bonnie!!
I think this has a great vintage look. The image and background are perfect xx
Your embossing makes a lovely background for this vintage image. Terrific card, Bonnie!
It looks quite vintage to me and it's beautiful. That's a lovely embossing folder and image. You did good!
Looks fabulously vintage to me!! But I know what you mean. I'm the same with vintage ... rarely a card style I make. Your embossing with the aged look is perfectly paired with your lovely vintage image. Great work, my friend! xx
I think it definitely has the vintage feel Bonnie, and the ochre shade for the pretty background embossing and the holly and berries in a good strong green are complemented perfectly by the pretty vintage scene. A beautiful card. x
your card is perfectly vintage, your image with the green and light brown are beautiful ♥
You're selling yourself short, Bonnie - that is a great vintage card! The image is perfect, and the background treatment looks appropriately aged.
A fabulous card Bonnie with a distinctly vintage 'vibe'. Well done .
Blessings

You captured the vintage look of the photo with your card background perfectly, Bonnie. The watercolored holly was a great addition.
You do vintage well, it's beautiful. x
I'd definitely call this one a success particularly with your creative background. I call it perfect!
