Card #4 House of Cards for vintage/shabby





Last card for the month of August with House of Cards. The 1st card was CAS, the 2nd Classic, 3rd was Cute and this last round is Vintage/Shabby. This is as close as I'll let myself create shabby, I'm more a vintage gal, and I've been on a quest into CAS for a while now......I'm forever lost down that tunnel!

The striped background is actually a digi I created from a vintage fabric swatch, and of course the orange juice girl is a digi too. She's special to me. I use her image each week in my AAA Cards DT post. I just love her. Crazy thing...my aunt Joan was THE Florida Orange Girl...right up till they gave the job to Anita Bryant. My grandfather never drank Florida orange juice again.



Thanks for the visit, I hope it was good 4 U.
