Although I love vintage textiles, I've never been good at pulling off the shabby chic look. So this month's blog hop challenge from Papertrey is a challenge for me.
I broke down and took scissors to
some of my vintage textile collection to make the house.
The book page text for the trees and door is vintage too. I don't have any of the cool new tree stamps, but they're quick to cut on your own. I wrapped the tops of the trees on the back side of the card and liked how it look, so then I was stuck wishing I cut a full circle for the middle tree. Note for next time!
No room left for the sentiment, so ended up having it come out the chimney.
