I was going for a vintage/ mixed media looking card today. When I found this mixed media paper pack at Michael's I decided to pick it up, even though I have more paper than I could possibly need, for one thing it was one sale and I loved almost all the papers in the pack.
I stamped the old postcard first and added some distress inks in old paper to give it that aged look, then stamped this collage stamp from hampton art and added a little pink color to it to tie it in with the papers.
Washi tape was added to the top and bottom of the card and I also stamped the sentiment onto the postcard, and who doesn't like gems :)

Very beautiful work. You certainly captured the vintage feel you were going for. Have a great weekend.
You tied everything together just perfectly on this, Connie! I could almost think the postcard and flower collage were part of the paper pack. Colors are a beautiful match, and the Washi tape is ideal!
