I have scheduled this post so fingers crossed it publishes OK!!
If the main challenge post isn't showing yet please check back later and link up your creation.
Not a lot of rules really = we are
definitely a stamping challenge and we do need the main focal point of your project to be stamped and although we have vintage in the title of the blog your creation doesn't have to be vintage!A bit of a diversion from the CAS cards I've made recently and one with lace, ribbon, crystals etc!
I used a lovely oval stamp from our sponsor and after stamping, I clear embossed, then painted with Distress inks and dusted on some glitter for the 'snow'.
Isn't the birdie on the tree cute?!
The papers - a digi freebie from Astrid - in shades of blue, gray and white stitched onto some darker blue co ordinating cardstock.
Same used for the frame of the image and the corner die cut.
Vintage icy blue lace and some hand dyed seam binding tied into a bow with a sparkly in the centre of the bow.
A teeny off cut of the ribbon twisted and secured again with another sparkly on the top of the frame and to finish off a stem of crystal leaves.

Oh my goodness, this has to be one of the most beautiful cards I've ever seen. The colors are truly frost cold but the card itself is as warm as a sleeping kitten. LOVE that image and you've colored it beautifully, and now I see that I don't always have to discard my ribbon bits, I can use them as you have done at the top of the oval shape. Very, very beautifully done, Viv. This one's getting Pinned for future inspiration.
Gorgeous creation, thanks for joining Stamping Sensations, good luck.
Happy crafting
Tracy x
