Vintage Carolers -Paper Players Challenge 57

When I saw this stamp set I knew that I wanted to make this a Vintage Card.  And the sketch challenge with Paper Players here was perfect for what I had in mind.
I'm happy with the results.


Looking at the card, one can almost feel the cold, and see the wind blowing snow across their figures.  It's hard to imagine that type of cold when today we're in the middle of a heat wave.


Stamps: A Christmas Carol, Christmas Greetings
Inks: Early Espresso
Papers: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Mocha Morning designer paper
Accessories: Top Note die, 5/8" Victoria Crochet Trim (aged using sponge and ink)
