I don't usually do vintage cards but love the look of it. I think there is a fine line between not enough and too much piled on.
For Mother's Day, my daughter sent me a succulent plant that had burlap and ribbon around it. When I repotted the plant, I looked at the ribbon and thought Ah, vintage card. Do you often find inspiration that way?
Additional inspiration for this card is from Splitcoast Stampers via Pinterest.
I used a Fiskar edge punch on the Kraft base. The vanilla square has some grunge stamped designs. I think it kind of repeats the burlap and lace design. The sentiment is from SU and punched with an oval punch. The button is a Martha Stewart Punch, tied with linen thread.
The design is the sketch from Make the Cards Challenge

I don't often do vintage either. I don't think I have the artistic sense for it. Your card turned out great! It's really pretty. I like that lace against the burlap. I'm always looking at packaging and wondering if there is something I can make with it. I'm a little more selective now, though. I used to keep everything; now I pick and choose.
