Vintage Fabric House Card [PTI Blog Hop]




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. 

Fun card for me, but quite the stretch!
Supplies used:
Vintage textiles
Vintage book pages
AC paper
