FMS721 Shabby Valentine

Happy Thursday, peeps!  I have a sweet little Valentine card for you today; it's for the FMS sketch by Jen as well as the neutral challenge from Little Red Wagon:

I went through my plethora of 6x6 pads to find some vintage prints to start my card; the ones I found were from Prima called Farm Sweet Farm.  I cut some to fit a 4 1/4" square card and went to work:


I diecut a heart from Basic Beige cardstock and stamped some postage stamp images from an old Papertrey set in Pecan Pie ink.  I added a Champagne foil heart and some pearl embellishments as well as a Technique Tuesday sentiment, stamped in Basic Gray ink.  I added a Crumb Cake scalloped heart behind it and gave everything a good vintage burnish with my sponge dauber and some Crumb Cake ink:


A sentiment from an old Paper Pumpkin set went on the front, and finally, some neutral rickrack trim for fun!  I haven't made a collage-style image for a long time, and it was fun to do!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Your vintage card is beautiful LeAnne. Love the heart and the papers you chose. Fabulous find in your "plethora" of 6x6 pads. I need to go through mine also. :)
