SSNOTIME123***VERY VINTAGE***


Hi everyone!! Time for Sharon's STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE. Today VINTAGE is in***.

If you look at the meaning of VINTAGE, it says "characterized by excellence, maturity and enduring appeal". It also says "old or outmoded" which I don't like so much.

My card uses Graphic 45 papers in a vintage style, roughed up around the edges. I also scrunched the ribbon up and frayed the ends. The blue of the paper also says VINTAGE to me. Reminds me of a vintage apron... or tablecloth...

The backside of this paper is covered with teapots, cutlery and strawberries so I just cut out one of the teapots popped it up on a circle of red cardstock and used some twine to attach the sentiment.

My take on VINTAGE..

Check out Sharon's site HERE for all the details and link your creation to MR. LINKY for all to see.
