Today's card is a Christmas card for the Business Stamper's Coaching Group challenge. I decided to go antique and thought that Winter Post was the perfect stamp for the vintage look. What do you think?
I used the retired DSP called Au Chocolate – just right for a vintage card. I don't remember when it retired - perhaps 2 or 3 years ago. The trees in the background are from the stamp set "Lovely as a tree" and the sentiment is "A Cardinal Christmas". The edges of the Naturals Ivory card stock were sponged with Chocolate Chip to give it that "old" look.

I’m typically not a ‘brown’ person (though I love chocolate!!!), but this card is stunning. Thanks for showing something I would never have thought to do.
Hopped over here from the BSG w/e challenge — comments. Love the card! Wish I had that paper!!
