Over at the
Papercraft Star, challenge 62 "Anything Goes" open today! I love this challenge because all you creative crafters come out to play! For my project I created a card. I went back to my comfort zone and stuck to a vintage look to this card. I used Baja Breeze as my cardstock base and paired it with a patterned paper from TPC. I stamped an image from Verve directly on to the
Vintage Frame from our sponsor, the House Across the Bay. Because you can print these sheets from your own printer, I printed this one on to a natural cardstock to give it even more of a vintage look. I then added lace from my stash and made a bow from some trim also from my ever growing stash. The little flower was made from a sizzix die, which I adhered a pear to the center. I edge punched the patterned paper with a Martha Stewart punch and added a flourish from Prima. How perfect did the vintage frame image go with this paper line! I love it when a card comes together! I would love to see what you come up with for this "anything goes" challenge. You have until Monday by 6:00 a.m. Eastern!

Wow Anitra - that little frame DID fit perfectly on this card !! You always have a vintage card that is just that little bit different from everyone else's - this one looks as if it truly did come straight from about 1870. Wonderful work !!
