I made this card several months ago, but it is still one of my favorites. I have found that I enjoy making vintage-type cards more than anything else. It's such a free form art. I just love starting with a blank piece of card stock and a bunch of stamps and seeing what developes from there!

Paper: Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip for the base, envelope is constructed from Creative Memories paper

This is gorgeous. What a beautiful combination of images, subtle colors,stitching and embellishments. The addition of the gold mesh and the gold at the corners really adds to the richness and vintage look. Totally beautiful!

I love it - it's gorgeous. I love vintage so much but when I try to make something it looks more like trash. I'll keep trying and hope to achieve something as beautiful as this.
