52 (Christmas card) throwdown has a blog hop for July and 4 challenges.

This is my card  for the recipe challenge:  square card, vintage and two buttons.

I have printed a piece of pattern paper from Joanna Sheen's "Victorian Christmas cards" CD, torn the edges and sponged with distress ink and layered onto purple card.  Printed image from the same CD.  Torn the edges and sponged with distress ink and layered onto paper.  Printed sentiment from the same CD.  Added the two buttons.
