This is my submission for today's Ways To Use It Challenge....to go very vintage.
I went through my button's and found this OLD mother of pearl button. I don't even know where it came from, but it has to be at least 20 years old....I hope that is vintage enough.
I used NEW stamps for August from www.cleardollarstamps.com called : Calendula-October Flowr of the Month. Or as we call them marigold's.
I used the script from this set on both the ivory and Kraft background panels. I sponged everything heavily with either Close to Cocoa or Chocolate Chip to give it an aged feel. I also used a layer of mullberry paper to add some texture.
I used the last of this sheer brown ribbon and heated it up with my heat gun to get it to crinkle.
I don't do vintage cards very often so I was happy with how this one turned out.
