Dawn's Free for All Challenge is Distress Before You Stress - I just made this card for a Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Design Team Favorites Blog Hop celebrating SNSS's 5th birthday! I distressed the postcard panel with inks and a distressing tool. My Mom just sent me this SU dp in rich Christmassy colors - thanks, Mom! Used one of my hoarded vintage buttons from a jar I bought at Belfast's St. Georges Market.

A beauty! I love anything with a mail motif and this vintage postcard is wonderful with your poppies and the gorgeous Christmasy bg papers! The lovely pearl antique button is just perfect for this.

This is so cool! It has a vintage feel to it with the paper and
that beautiful striped bow. At the same time it is so festive. I
never looked at vintage as being festive before today. Kudos on a great card!
