Oooh, I had soooo much FUN with this challenge! The Ways to Use it asked for a collage using at least 4 stamps. I am playing around with mixing rubber and digi images here.
The main panel is collaged using a vintage alphabet chart and a children's silhouette from the Graphics Fairy. I ran vanilla cardstock through the printer twice to get the image of the children over the image of the alphabet chart. Then, I stamped a mini flourish in the corners in black ink, and the frame in tea dye ink around the children. So two digi images, and two rubber to create the collage.
The background paper was also made by printing the alphabet chart image at full size and cutting to fit the front of my card.
I had inexpensive dollar store lace ribbon, that I wanted to dress up a bit, so I ruched it on the diagonal for some pretty wave like ruffles.

I love your card!! That silhouette stamp is awesome, and I like the way you have it kind of going off of the page. The antiquey colors you used with it are great - kind of aged and maybe a sunset look. I love the dog playing in there too. Wholesome good fun. You did a great job and I can see why you enjoyed this challenge.

You've done a wonderful job with this vintage card - LOVE all the detail - While I use the collage digitally when I scrapbook, never thought to digitally collage cards - Bing! lightbulb moment, lol.
Love the color palette - so perfect with the theme!
Thanks for sharing.
