Vintage style is always fun to play with. I have a photo of me as a child very similar to this one.
The background card panel is some I treated/dyed/stained/coloured with coffee and coffee grounds. I made a whole batch for later. Layered with a vintage photo (I think it came with an old Tim Holtz package) diecut into a Dienamics tag, an inked diecut doiley, gauze, a piece of fringe, stamping, a pearl, an old ticket, staples, and a Tim Holtz metal charm thingy that says "Discover" held on with brads. Is that enough old stuff?

I do love sepia, its just so lovely, this is such a sweet card Carol. xx
Love this - the extra texture with the fringe is beautiful - I seem to remember receiving a very similar card in a swap some time ago, that I have kept because I liked it so much
