I made this card for the letter Z which is the last card for Round 8 of the Alphabet Challenge. The Z in this card is the zig zag stitching stamp I used around the entire edge of the polka dot banner. I am still trying my hand at making vintage cards. This one came together fairly easily for me which is rare when doing vintage. Thanks for looking today! ~Karen.

Beautiful vintage card, Karen. I thought that zig zag stitching stamp was the real thing. I never have the patience to use mine, but yours turned out so nicely that I am inspired. So many pretty elermentd on this lovely card.

How fun for Z. Love the zigzag stamp idea. Genius. That Anna Griffin e.f. is really pretty. I have the apothecary die, and I don't think I have ever used it. It suits this card so well for vintage. The polka dot paper is a fun surprise on this. You have such an eye for using all those diecuts!

Your zig zag stamp looks like faux stitching, Karen, how fun is that! I have never used sewing on any of my cards, yet. Your embossed panel totally looks vintage....very feminine creation~

Ditto on the stitching stamp, but I also love that EF. And I had to stare a bit to figure out that you had layered your sentiment. At first glance it looked like you had fussy cut around it. I just love how it looks. Great idea! Great layout! TFS!

Lovely vintage style card, Karen! The zig zag is such a great touch, as is the doily under the sentiment circle, both such wonderful elements. So pretty!

Oh Karen, this is gorgeous! I really like that embossing folder, it is fabulous! I've been looking at your zig zag stitching stamp and trying to decide what color ink you used, it is light and perfect. Fabulous card!
