Now, that doesn't happen often, ya know...I do have to say that I am normally a very HUMBLE person, but inTIMidated????....uhhhhh...not usually, lol....LONG STORY-SHORT...apparently, my STYLE is NOT vintag-Y at all! GRUNG-Y, yes, but vintag-Y, not so MUCH.
I'm gonna show you my card, but don't laugh, now, ya hear? I know it's a STRETCH, but maybe...just MAYBE if you squint and turn your head this way and that...you'll see just a wee bit of vintage in this card:)
They(365 Cards) are having an AWESOME blog hop this week with a really cool grand finale challenge...it's a progressive recipe challenge and is proving to be alot of fun! You travel from blog to blog and collect "recipe" items that will then be used on the last day (this Saturday) as the recipe to make Saturday's card. Cool, huh? Now there are some other rules you'll need to follow, so visit here and get started:)
I am enJOYing my time to play along with challenges, but have also found that it's TOO HARD for me to incorporate more than one challenge into one card...do you know I saw a card this morning (wish I could remember where because it was REALLY cute...and there must have been a list of 10 or more challenges that one card was going to be entered in....gee wiz...I would have never finished even that one card! Too much pressure for me:)
Oh, so for the second challenge...this one was very EASY for me...it's for the Studio L3 challenge where we are turning to page 40 in our Compendium of Curiosities book and working on the double distress technique.
What fun this was! Thanks again Linda:) You ROCK, girl!
The colors of distress ink I used were:
- Victorian Rose (see I really DID try to do vintag-y)
- Stormy Sky
- Old Paper (see, see, I really did try, lol)
- Frayed Burlap (y'all)
enJOY:)
Lori, FSE:)

Oh what a nu=ice layering of textures-the doilies, the lace wtih the patchwork texture fade work very welle together to make this beautiful card.
love the textures and layout :))
Wonderful card! All the elements work together so perfectly!
Lori, I think you absolutely ACED the vintage look! This is gorgeous, grungy AND wonderfully vintage-y. The double distress is fabulous, and the lace and roses and sweet, soft colors add to the classic feel.
I've never had much luck trying to fit a card into more than one or two challenges, either. It might help you feel better to know that, oftentimes, cards that are submitted to multiple challenges don't technically fit a lot of the criteria, anyway. Just keep doing what you do, and stick with the quality-over-quantity mindset. It's not about how many challenges you enter, it's about have a blast doing the art you love to do! :-)
