This is for today's WT challenge to include something vintage. I am a docent at the Molly Brown House Museum here in Denver and we have hollyhocks growing in the garden. The flowers on stalks in this stamp reminded me of those hollyhocks. Also, I have learned the Victorian people loved "stuff" in their houses and gardens. So, with that in mind, I added the mulberry paper which is so old it is vintage!

Beautiful card with the sweet image of the girl surrounded by hollyhocks.
The mulberry paper and lace is perfect.

Your description of the mulberry paper makes me laugh. But the card doesn't. It's gorgeous. I temember holly hocks from childhood and hadn't seen any in years until last week when I was visiting Iowa.

The mulberry paper is a great touch! I have not used mulberry paper in years, I will have to get mine back out! The ribbon is great on this cute card. TFS!
