Welcome everyone!
It' s an honour again to be invited here at A Vintage Journey
and I'm very happy about this !
This month challenge theme is Vintage Christmas
this was really perfect for me , because I love the romantic old christmas and winter impressions.
I decided to make a ATB with nostalgic images, crackle and snow effects.

Joy to you this christmas!
motifs from Anton Pieck
I used the beautiful crackle distress paint colors in brown and white
I must say I love this one-step crackle paint,
it will truly change the way you distress your projects.
really magic effects!
also the wonderful distress colors,
they are not pushy and too colorful, but they give your project
an amazing altered vintage look
Challenges:
a big tradition in our family is it to visit a christmas market in advent season
in this year we planned a trip to Austria
I made this ATB in anticipation to this particular travel
I hope you like my little inspiration for this beautiful month theme!
Thank you very much
and
Happy crafting!!
Kerstin, it is such an honor to be featured in the same Pinworthy post with you at A Vintage Journey. Your vintage decor is beautiful, and love the way those paints worked so well for you. I love how those little scenes appear to be emerging from the crackle and that sweet tiny book on top! Gorgeous work! Merry Christmas to you!
