Round 3 for Make it Monday and a card for the Retro Holiday Challenge at Festive Friday



Hi all,
Still playing with some perfect pearls this morning for the Make It Monday #113 - Perfect Pearls challenge over at Nichole Heady's blog Capture the Moment.  After a very long day yesterday including baseball practice with my son last night until 7pm....I decided I deserved a little craft room time this morning.  I checked in at the Festive Friday challenge and this time it is all about Retro Christmas Cards....



"Retro" to me can mean traditional or even some vintage or "retro" graphics.  I remember the cards we received at Christmas when I was a young girl having felt or velvet on the images.  I also remember receiving cards with vellum overlays and cute images.  For today's card I incorporated perfect pearls into a traditional Christmas card with some felt and some vellum....


Supplies:
All items are from Papertrey Ink except for the adhesives and perfect pearls used as well as the Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  
Stamps:  Layered Postmarks Holiday 

Thanks for taking a look at my card!
Happy Tuesday!
:) Jill

    Your card is perfect. It incorporates two of the things I am enjoying playing with right now and that is vellum and Perfect Pearls.

  8. Jill, it's 89where I live, and I'm loving a Christmas card. It does have a very special retro feel, while the vellum snowflakes are so 'now'. Just beautiful.
