Friday again and time for our 2nd Friday frenzy sketch. Today's sketch is designed by Tammy Baldwin.
For those that aren't regular readers of my blog, I have recently returned home from Stampin' Up! convention in Sydney. Shelli Gardner(CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!) did a presentation on stage focusing on "vintage elements" (which is so Shelli).
For this card, I was channeling my inner Shelli Gardner and going with the vintage vibe. I'd also like to thank Judy May for inspiring me for the build a brad/punched circle idea.

I really think that using the book pages is a fabulous accent and ripping the edges looks tremendous. There is so much interest and texture that you can't stop looking at this card. It's gorgeous!
