Secret Sister Challenge 2 -- "Vintage"

Our Secret Sister Challenge this week was to make a "vintage" looking card.  Don't think I've ever done Vintage before, so this is my first try.
The Stamp is SU -  "A Kind Word."  I used Porcelain Prints DP, Very Vanilla and Gina K cardstock. I roughed up the edges and tore the paper, as you can see. I colored with my Prismacolor markers, shaded with Pebbles Chalk. Added some Primas, brads, and Blue Bayou ribbon. I'm really not too happy with the card overall. I do like the image, she is very cute.
 Here is a close up .
I will have to practice more for the "Vintage look".
Hope you enjoyed looking!!

    I had a very busy day today, visiting the CPA to get my taxes done, got a haircut, shopped at the Dollar Tree for donations for work. We are collecting personal care items for our Homeless Veterans here in Madison, and parts of the state where we have outpatient clinics.  Our department has collected over 130 lbs so far. We have until Feb. 21 to collect.  The department in the hospital who collects the most, wins a Pizza Party!
      Just think of all of the items we will be able to give the Homeless Veteran's!!!

Hi Cindy - Thank you for your comment on my blog. I live in Kenosha county in the S.E. corner of the state. I'm about a 2 hour drive from Madison. My room mate from college lives up in Wausau.

Your card is so cute! I love how you colored her so sweetly.
