I made this card for today's Way To Use It Challenge. Sabrina is our hostess and she has a marvelous challenge for us to "Frame It." One of my all-time favorite techniques is framing. I've actually had to slow my roll a bit because I could frame every card I make so today's challenge is perfect for me to indulge my "addiction" today. I tend to frame my images using circles, squares or rectangles so when I found this video on YouTube: , that uses the Stitched Seasons' Framelits dies I was so excited to try something new. I have changed this card up a tad from the video, but oh, what fun this was to make. All the elements are stamped on this card so no designer paper was hurt in the making of this card. I love vintage cards, but struggle to make them so finding Sabrina's challenge here today and finding this video on youtube made my day! Thank you Sabrina for this wonderful challenge today and thank you for looking! ~Karen.

That's gorgeous - like a sort of layered triple stamping technique. With the rose and the elegant stitched dies it certainly makes for a great vintage look. And that great soft lace in the background!
