I just love all the vintage style I see everywhere but have never really attempted to make a card that way. Last night I thought I would give it a try. I looked for a background with words stamped and found one, again, that has never been inked! I added the largest image I had which was SU Inspired by Nature and stamped over the words. I added some watermarks from a stamp we got at Leadership in the Paper Pumpkin kit. I distressed the edges with the SU Distressing Tools and sponged the edges.  I used Tui’s Freshly Made Sketches # 75 turned a quarter to the left that made it into a portrait card.  I had a beautiful ribbon/seam binding in my stash that matched the colors along with a SU Vintage brad, and this is what transpired:
