Hope everyone had a good Easter.  This week for the  Merry Christmas Challenge is anything goes with an optional theme of old fashion.  This  isn’t a style that I’m comfortable with, but I wanted to give it a try!

I used a piece of patterned paper from the Echo Park Reflections Christmas collection that I thought looked ‘old fashioned’.

I distressed the edges of the patterned paper then swiped the edges with some brown ink.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment with Zing Chestnut embossing powder.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches A Blessed Christmas set.  I adhered it to a cream card base to finish the card.

Check out the rest of the teams creations on The Merry Christmas Challenge blog and join in on the fun.

Thanks for stopping by!
