Timeless Tuesday...Vintage

Vintage...hey you talking to me?? Well Timeless Tuesday is to use/be vintage. I only have to look in the mirror to get the picture of vintage...old, wrinkled, worn and sort of dirty around the edges from being handled too much ( miss that being handled part). So anyway I did this one for
the Tuesday challenge at none other then my favorite Flourishes. I've used their set Around the Arbor which I have to tell you is going to be another one of my favorite's. It's a set that just screams classy. I stamped with Memento's Rich Cocoa ( dumb way to spell coco) and just colored the trellis with a dull sense ( not at all hard for me) and by that I mean sort of a scribble with not much punch to the color so it looks kind of old and burned out. Used my Nestie for my cut, it's one of those #'s and did a double cut so I had the gold one in back by cutting it in half and just gluing to the top and bottom. MS punch and some polka dotted ribbon. I think this would make a great card for my vintage friend Clara who is turning 94 soon. You know vintage is really like antiquey and that's not all bad at all. Well happy week people. I'm still cleaning all the vintage out of my basement...vintage dead spiders is one of the gems I'm running across along with the vintage cob webbs. Ahhh this getting old and vintage is crap for the birds. See you soon.
