MFP's Speedy Fox & Friends Challenge 214



 
 
This is Saturday and time for a new challenge at MFP's Speedy Fox & Friends!  Today's challenge is to make a vintage card or project.  Making vintage cards is not a strong suit of mine - at all, but you should be sure and check out what the rest of the Speedy Fox & Friends Design Team has made for your inspiration.  I distressed the edges of the card and the red layer. 
 
I hope you can join us and show your "vintage" talents!  Remember, there is always a weekly challenge winner of a stamp set!
