Old Fashioned Merry Christmas Card

Here’s an Old Fashioned Merry Christmas Card with an image from Authentique Vintage Christmas Paper. I used new die from Charming Christmas Boughs to cut frame. I added a touch of gold with "Merry Christmas" and gold mat. 

To make the frame, i cut Charming Christmas Boughs from dark red and cream cardstock. I used negative pieces from cream paper to fit into the dark red frame. It was just luck that I tried that!  I liked how it looked as it complimented the background color of the image. The frame is layered onto a traditional red mat, then gold and dark red mats.  Striped paper (back side of Authentique paper with image) covers card front.  “Merry Christmas “ is cut from gold paper with Adhesive Sheets applied before cutting. That makes it so easy to fasten it to the card. A gold cord is tied around the fold edge. 

Thanks for visiting!
Happy creating!
