The theme this week at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge is vintage. I have some vintage style little gift enclosure cards (or whatever you want to call the little card you stick under the bow on a gift) and found this cute little holly girl among the set. I rounded the edges and put the image on a mat made with a Spellbinder's framed die. (This is the best use I have found yet for that die). The sort-of-vintage-looking holly paper was a perfectly sized snippet, and a little distress ink toned down the busy appearance it had. Sentiment comes from a cardstock sticker sheet.
