Sometimes, I don't know when to quit. This had a really nice clean look to it, then I decided to distress it to make it look old , I guess! LOL This is for Ina's Stamp 2 Spend challenge to feature snail mail. It reminded me of this Vintage Postcard set that I had to have several years ago! Dug it out and used it for first time in years. This card satisfies the two challenges, to use our stash! I did. Don't know how long I had those stickers! Just happened to find them and thought they went with this, and also a scrap from the past!!! Oh, and who has any of that retired Rose Romance CS from SU? I do!!! Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous! The distressing looks great with the vintage style of the stamp set (I still have this stamp set and Rose Romance cardstock- lol!). Thanks for the inspiration, my friend- hugs!

That was a blast from the past! I love that vintage image I remember seeing that set in the very first SU! catalogue I ever got and thinking it was so lovely. Unfortunately, I was fresh out of school back then with a very limited budget and I had to pick only a few items to order - and this set never made it in my stash before it retired. It was fun to see it brought out again! (One of the fun side of the USE IT challenge.) Your card turned out lovely! The florals and colours and images all go very well together. TFS!

Sharon, I missed commenting on a lot of cards in the past few weeks and this is one of them. I love your beautiful roses and the beautiful vintage image you used. The roses and writing desk make such a beautiful vintage look.
