Every once in awhile, I enjoy making a "shabby/vintage style" card. Even though I have a Fine Art background and design experience, making cards is often a challenge for me. This particular style seems the most natural and easy. I like this style because it not only has a sentiment but evokes a nostalgic feeling as well.
My card today is for two challenges. The Patterned Paper challenge at Lily Pad Cards, and the current monthly challenge at Hero Arts.
