Vintage or Shabby Christmas

Our topic this week at 52CCT is:

I had an idea and this is nothing like the plan. It's not even the same colours. I like the finished card and that's what matters. I'm not sure if my card is Shabby or Vintage. Perhaps both. 
I stamped the border using Card-io Majestix stamps on cream card using Latte ink. The sentiment is embossed in clear as it didn't ink terribly well so a little embossing powder helped it stand out a bit more. It looks shabby though! I do love the fancy font.
I added the ribbon and a few die cuts sewed on with a button and raffia. Very simple but isn't that often the best way?

Do have a go at our challenge this week. We are only half way through the year so plenty of time to get started on those Christmas cards if you haven't already. It sounds mad but it works. 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
