I have been having a great time combining my Angel Company stamps with a vintage style. Their stamps are so versatile - there's a style for everyone.

After finally cleaning up my crafting area and doing a bit of reorganizing - a badly needed bit of work!! - I could sit down and start creating again. Once again, the Weekly Challenges over at Stampin' D' Amour pulled me in and I made this card for Marcie's challenge:

* Patterned paper by 7gypsies
* All stamps and chipboard corners by theangelcompany^TM
* Vintage image courtesy of www.billblanton.com
* Crocheted flower courtesy of The Spinning Guy
* Miscellaneous buttons, ribbon & fringe
* Inks used: Colorbox Chalk & Soot Black Distress Ink

I really enjoy participating in challenges, as they tend to make me go beyond what I would normally do. Guess that's why they're called challenges!
