#4 Challenge at Joan's Garden

This weeks challenge is to make a Vintage card. And, no restrictions. Since they showed an example of a couple Valentine's Day cards I just decided I would to. Here's my card:


I started out stamping Impression Obsession Cover-A-Card Lace onto a full sheet of white cardstock using brown dye ink. Without reinking I stamped one more time onto the white cardstock. I made the Grand Heart (Memory Box die) with the lighter image and also two heart photo corners. The layer under the heart is from a heart folder (Cuddlebug) that I inked up with the same brown ink and put through my big shot machine. It was trimmed and layered to a darker brown card as was the Lace image. I also added some woven fabric beneath the heart along with some white and gold speckled twine. Mini white brads were added to the photo corners and bigger white brads were added to the Grand Heart and the white paper flower.
