Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Vintage Thanksgiving!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Before I talk about my card, I want you to know I’m not a vintage girl. Our theme had me a little stumped this week. When I think of vintage, I think browns, dirty, old, stained? So this is what I came up with, hope it fits the bill!

I used some regal colors, added some stamped speckles to make it look dirty & old and I added some brown sponging to all of my leaves. Does this work and did I pass the test?

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Season Of Chic, Painted Pheasant
• Inks: Soft Suede, Old Olive
• Cardstock: Soft Suede, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake
