H ost set Very Vintage: VERY VINTAGE IS A LOVELY STAMP SET WITH BEAUTIFUL IMAGES. THE KIND I LOVE ... VINTAGE, BUT THE SENTIMENTS IN THIS SET ARE AS LOVELY AS THE IMAGES. I'VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED THE 'SHABBY CHIC' LOOK BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT I HAVEN'T TRIED TO PULL THAT OFF, OR AT LEAST NOT INTENTIONALLY. THIS TIME I DID TRY AND WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?? SHABBY, CHIC, VINTAGE?? I DON'T KNOW IF I PULLED IT OFF BUT I DO LOVE THIS CARD AND ALL THE IMAGES USED. THE SENTIMENT AND THE LITTLE BEE ARE MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS CARD.

I used Very Vanilla card stock for the base card that measures 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored in the middle at 4 1/4.
A layer cut at 5 1/4 X 4 of Very Vanilla to stamp my images.
The only color ink used was Crumb Cake. I used a small piece of Crumb Cake card stock behind my stamped image to peek out just at the top and bottom. I tore the edges to give that worn look.
I sponged all the edges with CC as well.
The sentiment was stamped on the lovely die from Stitched Labels, such a beautiful set of dies.
I added some of our Linen Thread to wrap the stamped image piece and tied a 'Billie Bow' to the front of my card.
I also added some Wink of Stella to my bee to make him sparkle.
A Billie Bow is a bow we all learned to make from a very special lady ... Billie Moan, if you search the Billie Bow on YouTube you can find her fabulous technique for tying this bow.
