My cold is stifling my mojo! I am uploading 3 versions of the same card. I am just so indecisive lately. Ladies, take your pick. I am CASING this lovely vintage card:
My version stays true to the vintage look. The base is still kraft, I kept the lay-out and ribbon embellishment. However, I used a red, chocolate chip and kraft color combo instead of black. I had to create my own scene, so I created a Christmas card combining a few sets, doodled on the edge and sponged heavily. I colored the door red with a red enamel pen.
Now for the 3 variations. I have used both sides of the DP from the Simply Scrappin 'I Wish' kit. I used both of the ribbons from the Alpine ribbon- the striped version and the felt. The felt version has a little piece of Joanne's red gingham inserted. One more Christmas card for the pile!
Thanks for viewing and commenting today and congratulations to Dawn on her beautiful gallery.

Very pretty. I like the dp on this one. Great sponging around the edges. Terrific job. This is another wonderful cased card. Thanks so much for stamping a cased card.

This is very pretty with the pink.....It makes the main panel pop a little more in my opinion but the other is very pretty with the ribbon you chose...

They are all pretty and have a wonderful vintage feel! If I HAD to pick, this one would probably be my fave, because I think it just pops a little more! Wonderful cased cards. Hope you feel better soon
