CHNC challenge 48: vintage and/or distressed

This week seems to have been a very busy one, but I don't seem to have got done everything I wanted to. As this post goes live (scheduled last night) I'll be on my way to where mum lives for their Christmas Fair to sell my cards. So I'm trusting that blogger will play nicely and publish this post. I'll be back later in the day to link to the challenges I've included.

Can you believe that we're on challenge 48 today on my CHNC blog. Not long to go to the big day, so let's make the most of the time left and get those Christmas cards made. Hopefully my challenge will help you - I'd love to see you there. The theme for this week is vintage and/or distressed.

I've used graphic 45 double sided 'we wish you a merry Christmas' paper from their Christmas Past collection. I stamped an oval background with antique linen DI and stamped the Docrafts Father Christmas stamp on to it using versafine black onyx. I've had this stamp for ages, but, until now, hadn't used it - I'm not sure why I hadn't. I then tore round the image paper using a perspex oval and inked the edges very lightly with shabby shutters DI, using this on the left edge of the card as well. The addition of some lace, glittered ribbon and Martha Stewart daisy stickers and the card was done.

I'm also linking this for the following challenges:

Ribbon girl: Jingle all the way to Christmas
2 sisters 67: holiday
Hiding in my craftroom 26: mix it up - holiday
Our daily bread 86: recipe - lace, ribbon and glitter
Crafts and me 62: shabby chic/vintage
Paper creations ink 13: Christmas theme
Papertake weekly: Christmas crackers - but not literally
Creatalicious 28: Christmas and make sure it sparkles
Sparkles forum 25: vintage Christmas
Everybody art 169: Christmas card
St Luke's November: Christmas is coming
Sundays with Crissy November 23: Christmas card using non-traditional colours
Little red wagon 108: Christmas theme
Truly scrumptious 70: Christmas projec with pearls or vintage
Fairytale 29: Christmas
Pattie's 34: Christmas
Simply create too 1: all about Christmas
Stampin with the dragon: anything goes - Christmas
Gingerloft 29: lace, fabric or felt
Rogue redhead 5: only one piece of designer paper
Papercraft star 72: anything goes
