I really liked the sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You this week, so I decided to play along. Besides, this allows me to add one more to my stash of Christmas cards.
Here's Kazan's Sketch 65

I played around with this a lot until I came up with just the right elements to make this a vintage looking card. I think the colors, the sponging and the lace worked.

The ornament is stamped in red, then clear embossed and mounted with a piece of foam tape just in the center to give it a more rounded look. I sponged the edges of the vanilla layer in Ranger Distress vintage photo ink, then came back and sponged more, and closer to the image, with antique linen ink.

Oh wow. Seriously. I love the ribbon and the more muted colors on this with that center pop of brighter red.
