Done for pammyrn's 'Too Much Fun Christmas 3x3 or Tag Swap'. The background paper is a copy of a 1909 Christmas postcard sent to one of my relatives. It's attached to a standard size manilla tag. I aged the edges with brown ink and used gold glitter glue on the ornaments in the tree. 'Celebration' is stamped and embossed in gold on vellum. I added a little torn paper to the lower right corner. The purple seal is a wax disc heated with a heat gun, stamped, then attached with Crystal effects.

What a great idea! I've got a whole scrapbook of my grandmothers full of postcards she received when she was a little child around 1910. I've always wondered if there would be something I could use them for without ruining them. They've got writing on the back, copying is a great idea!!

Oh, this just has my name all over it! I love this Victorian look. ;) I always forget about that Celebrate stamp from that set, too. Thanks for helping me to think outside the box!
