I've been watching the Moxie Fab challenges from the sidelines, but after seeing Amy and Angie do so well, I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring. Of course, the challenge I chose to get involved in is called Find the Value in Vintage. My cardmaking style is anything but vintage...however, that's why they call it a challenge. Plus, I thought I might be able to do vintage with a CAS twist.Here's what I came up with. This stamp reminded me of a vintage prom dress. I stamped it onto some vintage October Afternoon paper, then embossed it in black. I found this little white flower in my stash, and I squished it into my Pretty in Pink ink pad a few times to make it work. I outlined the whole layer with Cotton Candy Stickles.
So, what do you think? Is it vintage enough?

Vintage is not my style either. And you certainly don't think vintage or collage or artsy when you think of CAS. But you found a great way to combine the two. This is a perfect image and stamped on the patterned paper gives the look of vintage without all the excess "visual clutter" normally associated with the style.
I love vintage and this is SWEET!
Wow! I just LOVE your dress card! The distressed edges go so wonderfully with it and the flower is perfect! Hugs...Cookie :D

This is so sweet! I love the idea of stamping the vintage dress onto that gorgous October Afternoon paper- genius!
Yes, it's vintage enough. And CAS. And fabulous! Great idea to ink the flower. Love the use of stickles for the border, too.
Again, just gorgeous. I have a hard time with vintage, but this is perfect!
