Yes I know that I hardly ever attempt to do vintage style cards but I am giving it another try. And I emphasize the word TRY as I am not sure if this qualifies to be called vintage. When I showed this to my DH, he said that it doesn't look like something you would do.....his way of not being negative. I made this card for the challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow to use
PURPLE, KRAFT & BLACK to create a vintage, shabby chic or primitive inspired card . Not sure what category this falls under. But I tried using the elements of distressing, vintage look stamps, and some wrinkled seam binding for the bow. Used distress ink and shimmer spritz to age the mat of purple and embossed mat of kraft. Distressed the edges too. Maybe I have too much black?? Used Critter Sketch for layout.

Three cheers to you for going outside of your comfort zone! You did a mighty fine job, Theresa! I think they were tough colors, but I guess that is why they call it a challenge!

I'm with Olga.... vintage, shabby chic it is! You did a great job on this beautiful creation!
Well I think this is the perfect vintage card. It is a lovely card with a beautiful image that is so perfect for the challenge. I especially love the crinkle ribbon and the textured and distressed embossing you did - they are the perfect vintage touch. Thanks so much for joining the Sugar Creek Hollow challenge.

Sorry, I am late visiting but what a treat when I got here. This is wonderful and vintage. I love how you inked the embossing with the purple and there is just the right amount of black. Thanks for joining us at Sugar Creek Hollow and I hope you give it a go again.
