Inspired by Your Example

Hey Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I had a great time. I survived the kiddie birthday party and was pooped afterwards. I napped for about 3 hours! HA! I'll share a few of the photos when they're all processed.

Today, I'm sharing a vintage card. I used many elements I do not typically use, such as patterned paper. AAAACK! I survived and barely stamped! Since there was not as much to do, I inked it up! The card is a larger than my usual A2 cards, measuring 4.5" x 6".

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your day!
