This card was made for the two Christmas card challenges, the Fan Club one is a secret (check it out) and the other theme is birds. This is also for yesterday's FS, honoring Kathy (muscrat). This is what I chose: FF22snietje wreath by muscrat at Splitcoaststampers
In an effort to use some old ephemera, I remade two old Christmas cards from my Grandpa's stash. The decorative front is from one card, opening was already there, and then I cut apart another card with two birds on it. The illustrations are done by Tasha Tudor, one of my favorite illustrators. My Grandma and Grandpa loved her work. All I did was dry emboss a panel, ink up the edges of the cardbase in the evening evergreen and add a few gold Liquid Pearl drops on the wreath. Enjoy your week, Kathy, and thanks for the Christmas card challenges.

How touching to have your grandparent's cards to still enjoy and to remake into other cards! I also love Tasha Tudor's designs.
