Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Vintage - July 2023

Tuesday 4 July 2023

It's time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop and I'm hopping with Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. This month the theme is Vintage. I had fun with this technique and couldn't resist sharing the new One Horse Open Sleigh Suite which is an Online Exclusive that will be available on July 6th.

When I saw this suite I immediately thought "vintage". I pulled out my crinkled paper and distressing for this card. What do you think? Is it vintage?
