How's it going? I hope you had a good weekend, and are starting your week off well also. It was a nice, relaxing weekend in the Castro house. We didn't do anything but go see the movie The Conjuring on Friday. My daughter and I are huge scary movie fans, so this was a must see for us. I wasn't sure if it was going to be that scary, but there were some great moments. I think we'll see it again, once it's on DVD. We've begun our vacation countdown as well. In 3 days we'll be in my favorite place, Denver! I am dying to get there already, and am finding it more and more difficult to be patient. lol If any of my crafty friends are in the Denver area, and want to have lunch or something, let me know! It would be awesome to meet any of you!
Anyway, I'm back with another House of Cards project for you. This weeks theme is Shabby & Vintage. I've gotten better at CAS, which means that Shabby and Vintage are now two styles that I really struggle with. For this weeks challenge, click HERE. Below is the card I created.
I really distressed all of my edges, and I tried to make it look "vintage" with my inking. I do hope it's close to being considered shabby and vintage. I really wanted to support this weeks group, so I am just going to go with it. I've got another card for my stash now too.
I've also combined the following challenges in my card:
WordArt Wednesday #89 - Anything Goes
The Paper Players #155 - Sketch (I flipped it)
Addicted to Stamps #60 - Lots of Layers (I've got 8)
The Hybrid Chick Card Caravan #46 - Red, White & Blue
I do hope you'll head over to see what the HOC Shabby & Vintage DT have created for you this week. They're beautiful!
Have a good day!
Hugs!

A gorgeous card! So pretty and elegant and a beautiful design. Thanks for joining us at ATSC, Marlies
Love this! Great verse and I love the shabby feel! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love all the texture on your card Steph. Shabby and Vintage is a style that doesn't come naturally to me either unless I overload it with lots of distressed edges, flowers and lace, but you've really done a fantastic job on this one without all the fluff!
