Challenge #2 for my blogging group, Card Crazy Chicks, is Lauren's vintage challenge. I'm not a vintage girl at all, so this really was a challenge for me.I used SU's Well-Worn Words on the background, then inked and distressed the edges. I added the tag (also inked and distressed), ribbon (the gingham was sponged with Chocolate Chip ink to age it a little), and this bird stamp from Inkadinkado. I added the hardware at the last minute because something seemed to be missing. Not entirely sure I like this one, but it's the best I can do with the limited vintage items I have in my stash.
Stamps: Well-Worn Words (SU), Birds Galore (Inkadinkado)
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Naturals Ivory, Kraft tag
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: circle punch, ribbon (SU & Hobby Lobby), hardware (Oriental Trading Co.), distressing tool, sponge
This is a perfect vintage design! Love your card and all the wonderful detailing. The hardware is the perfect addition.
