You're Not Old by Dana Warren

Hello AI fans!!!

Dana here with a card featuring a stamp set from AI's Vintage line. When i use these sets, get in vintage mood! Though i should say my vintage is more of a clean and simple vintage!!! 

I started by die cutting a tag from watercolor paper and then stamped the lady from the You're Vintage stamp set. I used my Distress Markers to color her, using what i thought were vintage-y colors!! I added some twine to the the top of the tag and set it aside.

From a pattern paper stack i found some pretty yellow pattern paper. To help with the vintage theme i used some distress ink (old paper, i think) and inked up the edges. From another stack i found some light text pattern paper and also inked its edges. Next i stamped You're Not Old, You're Vintage sentiment on this strip too.

From my embellishments stash i found a Kraft doily that i added a little bit of Distress Ink to make it darker. Then i folded it half and added it to my yellow panel. Next i added the sentiment strip and last adhered the stamped tag with foam tape!

I hope you have a great day! Happy Stamping!!
