Christmas Advent Card Vintage Winter ScenesCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed this lovely vintage advent calender design on pale cream 280gsm card to emphasize the vintage feel.

I trimmed the two parts, added the "surprise" layer to a cream scored and folded A4card with DST, fixed 1/8" DST to the non printed areas of this layer,and added touches of frosted lace stickles. When it was dry, I removed the tape backing and carefully lined up the snowy village cover image and pressed down. Very straightforward to make( the narrow 1/8" DST fits exactly along the spaces.) I added stickles glitter to the cover image and a seasonal gold and holographic holly border to the long edges of the image, with a narrow decorative gold border to the other sides. I love this advent design,which is sure to bring pleasure and be well used,day after day, right up till Christmas!
