Now on to my take on the challenge:

For my card, I decided to may an alternate fold known as a joy fold. The designer paper is scraps from my DCWV Nursery pack. The card stock is black, kraft and white. I used the Mini Tags 3 and Porch stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs. The background is embossed with the Vintage Background Embossing plate available at ODBD.

If you are interested in making a joy fold and you do not know how to make one, there is a tutorial available at splitcoast here .

Card Recipe

ODBD Stamps Used: Mini Tags 3, Porch
