Today's card was created for the Crafty Collaborations Clean and Simple Blog Hop. I love the simplicity of this card. I tend to be more of a crafter that loves fussy details..... but this card brought me a lot of pleasure to make too. Below is a list of Blogs for you to visit and be inspired by.
Today I am participating in the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. The theme is - Vintage. I have chosen to represent "vintage" through designer series paper that looks weather worn. Then I added a touch of "eyelet" which reminds me of my childhood. Later in this post, you will find a list of bloggers that have shared their "vintage" creativity as well. Just click in each of their live links to be directed to each of their blogs.
I am so in love with the Country Flowers bundle right now. I just can't get enough of creating with all the options in this bundle. I hope you are inspired to give this card a try!
