Vintage Thank You for the Crew (s)

Today's card is for BOTH of the Crews of which I'm a member! Check it out:

For the Paper Crafts Crew, we used this sketch:

And for the Creative Crew, one of our themes for December was to use the First Edition Designer Series Paper. I can't believe this is my last month on the Crew!! It's been an amazing journey and I just KNOW you're going to love the incoming crew! You can check out all the crew creations HERE and be sure to keep checking back in the New Year for the new Crew!

Of course, I took a few liberties with the sketch (don't I always??) but I sure do like the way this card turned out!

I wanted to make a thank you for one of the generous donors who "chipped in" for the Kidd family. Have YOU seen the widget in the top left of my blog? If you have even a little spare change, the Kidds (and I) would greatly appreciate it. :)

I started off with a base of Soft Suede and then added a stamped layer of Very Vanilla and a piece of So Saffron Designer Series Paper. I was going to use one of the Two Tags (from the die), but I wasn't liking the way it looked, so I changed it up a bit.

I did some distressing and sponging to add dimension to the card.

What do you think?
