Merry Christmas--PP220

November 2, 2014

I am not sure how it got to be November, but with that being said, "It's Sunday" and time for another fun challenge at The Paper Players.  The lovely, LeAnne has a "Vintage" challenge for us this week!  




The Design Team has fabulous samples for all of you this week!  Stop by their blogs for inspiration and then play along with us this week at The Paper Players!

I absolutely adore the 50's.  This fantastic stamp from Prickley Pears stamps was the inspiration for my card!  I hope you enjoy my vintage card!




I used the retired Designer Series Paper "Be of Good Cheer" for her skirt.  I stamped the girl in Memento Black ink and then paper pieced her skirt.  I would love to have lived in the time they wore these dresses!  I also used the retired stamp sets, "Special Season" (for the tree) and Christmas Messages for the inside Sentiment.  

Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.  I love to hear from you!

If you have a question on my card or Stampin' Up!, please contact me at: Claire.

Wishing you a very special Sunday!

Happy Stampin'!
Claire

  2. In case you didn't get my earlier message, I LOVE THIS CARD! I don't have any of those Prickly Pear images but I am going to have to search them out! I wish I could have worn this style too....but I would not look as cute as this little gal...I'm a little thicker in the middle, LOL! I'll enjoy the style vicariously through your card!!!
