Good morning blog friends! Welcome back to Day 3 of the Waltzingmouse Stamps December Release. As you can tell, I’m on a vintage kick and so I found a way to weave one of the swoonworthy little post cards into my card today. You’ll be able to see the full sets tomorrow! I recently found a stack of vintage looking papers at Hobby Lobby. I know they were meant for display but I snagged them anyway knowing I could use them for cardmaking. When I got them home, I was disappointed to see that the top couple of papers were aged but in the middle of the stack, they were not. Since the stack of papers was a decorating knick-knack, I could only be mad at myself. So then I decided to tea dye a batch of the papers myself – I love the results – that’s what I’m using for my pennants hanging down at the bottom of the card.
This is the simplest card I’ve done in a while :-) I’m totally swooning over the new tea dyed lace added to the stash!!

Good evening Becca,
I’ve just caught up with yesterday and today’s posts and both cards are delightful. You certainly inspire me. Thank you. xx
This is OUTSTANDING…Definitely one of my favs (but then again, they ALL are!!!)
Love love love your card!! I can hardly wait to order the postcard stamps! And that tea died lace is just beautiful. Where on earth did you find it? Or did you die it yourself? Cause I know you do that quite often. You are Amazing to me and I’m thankful that you share your wonderful talent with us. Loves, Ruthie
Becca, I’m getting myself in trouble here, but I’d do the same as you and grab those decor ideas, hey, if you can’t find it in the regular stack and its on display, it just calls my name!!! LOUDY!!!!! I love your cards as you well know and this one no less! Awesome use of tea dye! Have to do it myself. I want to know where you live so we can get together and make some cards!!!! I’m in central Ohio, but I’m willing to drive hours, days. . .if it takes to work with you sweet Becka!
Well, if she agrees…I’m in NC and would pay to spend one day with her….just watching her work! We’ll all meet where ever she is and have a Creative Party! :)
I’ve done the same thing at craft stores…(some take it in stride but then others think I’ve lost my mind and get indignant about disturbing the “display”.
This is a very pretty card!
This is so, so beautiful. I love the pretty papers behind, the vintage postcard and that fabulous lace!
What a lovely design with the pretty banners Becca!
Another winner, Becca! You create such beautiful cards and projects!
Like Nancy and Ann, I would love to attend a workshop and would be happy to pay for a day spent creating with you. I am coming across the pond and should be in Orlando, Florida, from the end of December till 9th January…..
Just saying…… ;o)
Hugs

Beautiful Vintage card Becca. I must try tea dying, it has such a pretty result.
Now that’s what I call “aging gracefully”. Beautiful, Becca!

So very pretty. The lace is such a wonderful touch of elegance.
Very nice card Becca, I don’t know how you keep on coming up with consistently stunning cards and projects- wonderful x x x
WOW! This is an example of what you call “simple card?” I am impressed! This is really a stunner! Your choices of papers, images and embellishments are a perfect marriage!
Wow – sure doesn’t look simple – very elegant and vintage!
Beautiful Card.. Looks so Luxurious!! Stunning Ribbon and Lace!!.. Love the Golden look!!
Becca, I absolutely love your cards, and have since I first saw one years ago. I love the vintage, feminine, slightly shabby chic look. I personally, have never been able to pull this style off! I would love to spend a day, or week, or month with you watching you create and learning from you. Alas, all I have is your website, which I return to regularly for inspiration. Thank you so much Becca for sharing your wonderful talents with us!!
Love the tea dyeing they look great, lovely card!
Hi Becca, This card is really stunning !! I’m loving the vintage, and the tea-dyeing is really gorgeous.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
