Quirky Challence 12: Vintage

This week The Quirky Challenge 12 is Vintage, which means you can make any craft project you fancy in the theme of ages past. Atc's, Fat pages, Scrap book layouts, Altered art, any thing that comes to mind, although it doesn't mean dressing your Granny in her Sunday best and posting her on the forum...but on second thoughts, that might work too!

This is my very very first Vintage card. My very first vintage anything! I was a bit boggled about what to do! I asked Hubby and Mum, 'What does 'vintage' make you think of?' Mum's answer was, 'old cars' and John's was.. 'wine'. No help there then! So I went surfing, No! Not on a board, on the web and found The Graphics Fairy (link also on my side bar) Loads of Freebies if you're into Vintage Clip art, and that's where Santa came from. I reduced him a little bit and printed him onto glossy photo paper, cut him out and edged him with a thin gold line peel-off that had a bit of a crinkly edge to it. The envelope is actually a decoupage set that I reduced in size, mainly because I wanted 'Merry Christmas' in that old fashioned writing. I've since added a bit of gold Stickles glitter to the holly. You can down load that from HERE (the full sized decoupage, envelope that is, not the Stickles Glitter, sorry!) then click on the link for Christmas (Link also on my side bar~there's loads of links to freebies on my side bar if you haven't noticed them yet, go and have a look! But not yet...read this first!)
I'm afraid I can't remember where the papers came from as they too were a freebie but via post, a magazine deal I think. Papers with vellum paper to match. They're really nice but there's only one of each colour so I hadn't used them until now. The vellum has the same pattern as the paper but with added gold. The gold snow flakes were cut from Tesco's finest Christmas wrapping paper! I bought it boxed some years ago (so it was really posh! and also very cheap in the sales!) Knew it would come in handy one day! So now it's your turn! Pop along to the Quirky Forum and see what everyone else has come up with, then have a go! You have til next Sunday evening to enter your idea! Don't forget there's a prize for the winner!
Here's some more DT takes on the Vintage theme, just to give you some ideas!
