VINTAGE SHOP AROUND

I love vintage cards, and enjoy all the steps it takes to take to make it look like a step back in time.  There are so many layers and techniques but don't be intimidated, even a beginner stamper can complete this card- there is nothing difficult about it. I really liked the pop of color using Pool Party in the ribbon, buttons, and using dab of marker on the fussy cut images. I swapped this card at Stampin' Up!'s Convention with a few demo friends. You can find all the products in the Annual Catalog and the Holiday Mini Catalog that goes LIVE Aug. 1, 2013

Tip:  Rough up the edges before sponging them to add depth to the layers. Sponge in an ink a shade or two darker than the card stock.

Fray the edges of your ribbon and separate your Linen Thread to add texture to your buttons and bows.
