Vintage Shabby

The challenge this week on House of Cards blog is VINTAGE/SHABBY still within the colour scheme for the month. Backing paper here is from Tim Holtz vintage shabby pad, overstamped with leafy swirls (Chocolate Baroque).  The wording is also a stamp from Chocolate Baroque onto a Spellbinder label.  The strip of pattern used a stamping wheel from Stampin' Up and the flowers were stamped using their Vintage Vogue set (retired I think), then cut out with scissors.  The leaves were cut from a scrap of card which I had lying around which had been spritzed with Glimmer Mist - never throw any useful scraps a\way!!. A lacy die cut and here it is - my take on the vintage shabby theme for the week.

    Your layout looks terrific & I love the effect of your lacey die-cut.The CB stamp works beautifully with the patterned paper too.

    A great card Val. Love the colourway and that CL lace edging die is so pretty. Think if they brought back Vintage Vogue it would sell very well! So frustrating that you got all the rain last night, Stoford also got a soaking.....but here nothing at all. It was a bit cooler this morning but then got hotter (extremely so in the shed which I'd been tasked to clear!!!) but it's cooled down again now - hope that means a good night's sleep tonight....
