As much as I wanna be, I'm just not...

.... a vintage girl. I love the look of vintage and shabby chic cards, but I cannot get that style to work for me. However, getting out of your groove is what a challenge is all about. So, ScrapTiffany is asking us to do vintage this week. I came up with this: (brace yourself)

I think of Webster's Pages as being vintage looking, so I started there by using their papers and cameo (they call them Silhouettes). The "vintage" key is from Fiskars. I also think doilies fit in the vintage category, and was thrilled to use this beauty that I found in Amish country, PA. Don't worry, it was only 50 cents.

Betsy Veldman taught me how to make the precious little rosebuds from felt. I need more practice, but I'm getting there.

I used this sketch from Get Sketchy.

Should I let you in on a little secret? See, the first thing I did was make the card base. After laying different pieces in different places and moving them around a kajillion times, you get excited to finally glue them down for good, right? Note to self: Always check your card base.

Does vintage come easily to you? Then whip up a vintage card and post it on the ScrapTiffany blog. Is vintage a pain in the neck for you? Then buck up and give it a go anyway. Make sure to post the results (good or bad) to ScrapTiffany.

**My card won't be revealed at ScrapTiffany until Friday, but I needed to post it in time for the Get Sketchy challenge.**

Oh, my wildly talented friend, M-C, is giving away a cricut cartridge. Head over today. It ends really soon. And In My Mind's Eye has some goodies up for grabs, too.
