This week, Time Out is challenging us to be VINTAGE. Vintage is not my strong suite but that is the beauty of challenges... you need to try to move outside your comfort zone. I relied on Memory and Tim Holtz to create this card. I used layered papers, stenciled poinsettia with gold embossing paste, ephemera, gems and a layered sentiment. The beauty of vintage is that you can have fun!
We are happy to be sponsored by Doodlebugs this challenge! In addition to the sponsor prize, the winner will also guest design in a future challenge.
Be sure to check out this week's Guest Designer, as well as the wonderful inspiration provided by the design team! Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.
Enjoy! I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

Love your card Elizabeth! You may say it is not your comfort zone, but the way you added the patterns and the embossing paste, the subtle lace border and the vellum, so many details to admire - I feel so inspired. Also the font of bold red sentiment - looks so Vintag-y. I wish I could do something like this.
Vintage may not be your strong suit Elizabeth , but you certainly aced it! Love the eclectic mix of patterned papers and colours and that vintage poinsettia is to die for! Even the sentiment is perfect! Hugs, Kate!
I love this, Elizabeth! Especially the gold poinsettias -so so fun. Makes me want to buy some gold paste -I only have clear and white and have thought that's all one needs... But now this makes me really want some gold lol!! Beautiful card. xxx
This is just fab Elizabeth! I've been mulling this challenge over all week as vintage is so not me either, but you definitely rose to the challenge - the layering and overstamping gives a vintage yet modern feel. Bravo!
You did an amazing job for not feeling comfortable with vintage! I pinned your card for inspiration this Christmas.
Love you take on Vintage Theme, Elizabeth. Love the way you have mixed and match so many beautiful elements together for this Vintage Card. Love it. Hugsxx
Vintage may be out of your comfort zone but mixed media is out of mine and you have combined both in a fantastic way, Elizabeth. This truly looks like a vintage Christmas card.
I am so behind with commenting, Elizabeth, but wanted to stop by and tell you how much I loved your vintage creation. It might not be your strong suitf, but you really nailed it with this project. So many wonderful details, fabulous papers, embossing, vellum - all add up to a fantastic vintage creation.
