"‘Hello
lovely Stampotiquers,
Lots
of us get so excited when we get our hands on an old ledger, old books, or old
family photos even from people we don’t know. But those are often hard to come
by, or very expensive.
Because
of that, lots of us became very agile in making new things look old. Using
inks, paper distressing tools and yummy techniques.
How
about we combine all that love for all things vintage and all those yummy
techniques with our favorite stamps, to create a vintage looking Stampotique
piece?
Can’t
wait to see where that leads you! Ready? Create!’"
Well, I am not a vintage type crafter, but I was thrilled to give this challenge a try. I am pretty sure my project barely qualifies as "vintage", but I did try to use muted colors, and I distressed everything to give it an old feel. I used Dog Family, and Happy Birthday to You stamps on my project. I hope you get to join us for this weeks challenge, and come see what gorgeous creations the DT has come up for this weeks challenge.....Have a great day and enjoy every minute!

You did an amazing job on vintage!! Sorry about your MIL. Hope she's better soon!
I hope you MIL continues to improve, Kristen! You have been totally successful at creating a vintage card here. Your color palette and distressing are two strong components of vintage, and they are both present! See? You *can* do it!

Love this great colour choices and the dogs look so cute (in a vintage sort of way) :-) xx
