I find 'vintage or shabby chic' quite hard to achieve, but for my card I used some decoupage pieces, papers etc with lots of sticking and layering up from a kit from The Works mounted on to a random piece of Christmas paper from my stash and actually have made quite a few others from the kit that I think would also be classed as vintage or shabby chic.
