Vintage is a huge style right now and I thought it would be fun to play around with incoporating some vintage elements into projects. Old letters, postcards, ticket stubs, vintage photos etc. are called ephemera...something transitory or lasting a day. We all know these great items last longer than that but you get the idea. How about old lace, buttons, game pieces, fabric, even jewelry etc. They are all fun to incorporate. Have fun with this challenge and see what you can find! Now if you've REALLY tried and can't find anything actually vintage, try incorporating some of the new vintage product you find in the crafting market these days. Vintage is fun!
Please remember to put WT233 in your keywords section and post a link back here so that we can all see your work! Please link only newly uploaded creations for this challenge. We'd like to get you creating!
Oh boy, this is a dream challenge for me. I have boxes full of this stuff. I uploaded a card at the beginning of August using an old key: Vintage Ephemera Card by alimarbles at Splitcoaststampers, but I can't wait to make some more today.
It's not often I get to play this challenge...thanks! I couldn't find any down to earth vintage stuff but used buttons, sewing, and fabric on my card. Hope you like it.

Love the vintage look with cards! The 32 cents stamp is a dead giveaway that the stamp is old - lol! VINTAGE STAMP

So I didn't try reeeeaaaallly hard to find any vintage ephemera near my stamp space, but I did use the sun-ripened II set which I think has an old botanical print feel to it. Hope that works! Here's my card: WT233 Very Vintage Grapes by pbvkt at Splitcoaststampers
