Hi everyone! Do not adjust your computer screens... I went vintage. LOL This card was made with a NEW stamp set, from a NEW stamp line, from MFT that will be releasing on October 6th! Surprise! I know it's shocking on all accounts, but isn't this new stamp set so pretty? It is from a new stamp line called Inspired By, that will feature more realistic, vintage stamps. The new stamp set is called Caged Bird. The set was inspired was a poem by Maya Angelou.
I had to really "dig" to make this card happen.
- I sponged the edges of all my card layers... in dark brown. It's been a while since I went there. LOL
- I used fibers. Three kinds. Please don't judge me. Don't they just "go"?
- I didn't color a single thing on this card. It's all SOLID stamping. HUH?
- I distressed the edges on the layers of my card. I still do that sometimes, but collectively, this card is WAY outside of my "box".
- I maimed my ribbon. I wrapped, I heat gunned, and I melted it. Please forgive me ribbon, but you just weren't fitting in otherwise.
Here are some details about the upcoming release on October 6th at 10 PM EST:
- The MFT release is on October 6th at 10 PM EST. You can attend the release party from 8-10 PM EST here in the forum for fun, games, and prizes! All the new sets and dies will be available on October 6th at 10 PM EST.

This is a GORGEOUS card and am liking the new look, wondering if I would/could pull it off... ???? Hmmmm....

I have a ton of fibers too - have even drug them out and used some of the sparkly ones on Christmas cards. I think you do the vintage look very well - the card is beautiful and the stamp is so interesting.

This really IS shocking for you, but VERY pretty! (Sorry, I can't stop laughing at Kelli's comment about the fibers...omg...lmbo.)
This card is beautiful. I love the quote.
I guess you can't say, "No fibers were maimed in the making of this card." Really....it's gorgeous.
You totally need to go "outside your box" more often, girlie. This is GORGEOUS!! Maimed ribbon and all!
I just love how you made this card with that stamp set. You are a daily inspiration for me. TFS!!
Love the card, love the saying from Maya Angelou. I may have to get this set. Don't know you well enough to LMAO. It would seem that this is not your usual style but it is so lovely... are you sure you haven't been a "closet" vintage card maker?
