Vintage Christmas ala Steubner

The Featured Stamper challenge over on SCS is all about Shannan Steubner this week. I met Miss Shannan at a shoebox swap earlier this year, and she's a real sweetie pie. I love browsing through her gallery for inspiration, and this challenge is a great excuse to case her work. :-)

I chose to case THIS card of Shannan's, but I made a few changes. One is the color scheme, obviously, and I made mine a Christmas card. I used snowflakes instead of flowers, and the snowflakes are covered with the new Picket Fence distress stickles.

The sheet music background and the sentiment are from Cornish Heritage Farms. The snowflakes are die cut from a Spellbinders snowflake die. After the stickles dried on the snowflakes, I sponged them a little bit to get them sort of vintage-y. Thanks for the inspiration, Miss Shannan! :-)
