Shabby Chic Christmas

This isn't my usual "style" of card... but I still thought that I would give it a go...

Elizabeth Whisson, shabby chic, christmas, copic, flourishes, trimmed with love

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
1. Fashionable Stamping Challenges - Shabby Chic Christmas
2. Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #248 - Score it, pierce it, colour it
The scoring is pretty small but I scored two lines on the sentiment piece. The piercing is on the "Ornate square" and I coloured in the Christmas tree with Copic markers.
3. Little Blue Button Stamps - Monthly challenge No. 11 - Christmas Theme

  3. Oh WOW! This is STUNNING! I love the vintage look you got by stamping the tree onto kraft cs and distressing the edges of the bg and one of the layers. My fav part, though is the random embossing! I'm definitely going to give that look a try, myself! I'm so glad you joined us this week for the Timeless Tuesday Challenge!
