Hello!  Welcome to the second week of the current Retro Rubber #15 challenge!  This challenge is all about vintage and if you read last week’s post, you know how I feel about vintage!

But I am making another attempt at vintage!  This week I stuck with sahara sand, black and white.  I did manage to get a bit of lace on there as well!  Because I needed a sketch, I am playing along with the Deconstructed Sketch challenge.

I used my Pink Persimmon Perfumery stamp set for this card.  I used a background stamp to versamark the sahara sand on the long strip and flag.  Then I stamped the perfume bottle in black on white CS.  I backed the white with a small piece of sahara sand and then distressed all the edges.  I put the card together following the sketch and added a few pearls and a bit of lace.

Now, that the business is out of the way, let’s get to the party!  I am celebrating my first anniversary as a blogger today.  Or is it celebrating a birthday?  Either way I am celebrating!  Be sure to leave a comment on today’s post (and only today’s post to be included in the blog candy giveaway) to win one of three prizes.  I am giving away a stack of designer series paper, baker’s twine and a stamp set to three (yep – THREE) lucky winners!

For readers outside of the US - I am sorry - I will only ship in the United States.  You will have plenty of time to comment – I will close comments on Thursday, June 4^th at 6 PM MST.  Then I will randomly choose three winners and post those winners on Monday, June 8^th!  It is that easy! 

Thanks for stopping by today and helping me celebrate my anniversary/birthday!  I appreciate that you take time to stop in and see me - so Thank You again!
