Artistic Outpost

I love vintage.  No secret there.  And I love rubber stamps.  Artistic Outpost has some of the best vintage image stamps around.  I used "The Outpost" plate to make this card for their January referral program.
I have a hoard of vintage and antique papers that I like to pull out when using these stamps. I mixed them with some Basic Grey's PBJ.  And see the embellishment at the bottom?  I made that.  I added some cheap rhinestones to some vintage plastic buttons that I love.
And voila!  Some vintage bling!

    This is so beautifully put together! Love the chevron paper and ric rac ribbon, and those post stamps work so well with your choice of image. What I love about this card too, is that it can be used for so many different occasions! Glad I came over from MIM to have a closer look.
