I've used several of my favorite SNSS sets to create a vintage seaside postcard look. I partially inked the sailboat and bg script stamps and wiped away ink at the edges before stamping. All edges have been sponged with distress inks.

Nice combination of Sweet n Sassy products. Also like the color combos. Well done as always!

This is fantastic, Bridget. I love all your distressing, the sewing, and I have got to get me some seam binding. Love the look it gives on vintage cards. Lovely card.

I just love how you think, Bridget...your assembled softened images yield a lovely card. Your sponging and distressing are fantastic, and your sewing, seam binding and buttons complete the theme beautifully. It is always a pleasure (and privilege) to see your cards. Thanks for the inspiration...Hugz!

Bridget!! This is such a beautiful smile-maker! I've been away from most stamping in the recent days, and this is putting a full-fledged smile on my face. I love your colors along with the depth of color in the image contrasted with the softer paper colors. Yumma!!
