RRCB68 & Sketch #223~ Stampin UP Vintage Postcard



 Here is my second card for the day.  Don't ya just love it when the vision you have for a card actually works out?  I mean the whole theme here of being "snail mail" and note pad embossed background and yellow card stock to represent a legal pad for the letter.  Gosh that's so swell.  This is a 2001 Vintage Postcard stampin up set. I inked the image with separate markers then stamped it, and colored it in a bit since it was a little blotchy.  I thought the lovely ric rac ribbon  ( I had on hand from previous Gingerbread ornaments) worked well with the era of the dress.   Added a few sequins and let's call that a wrap for this card.




I'm  going to submit it to the following challenges↓
This is my first time with this challenge blog.. so exciting to find new blogs to play along with.  I'll have to add it to my list now.
and one of my favorites to play along with because I have more older stamps then new.

Thank you so much for stopping by.   I would love to have you follow my blog, pinterest board or facebook page.   That would make my day.  
Keep Smiling and Keep Stamping
