I started with a shell of Very Vanilla, sponged with Creamy Caramel to distress it. Next layer up is Always Avecado followed by another layer of Very Vanilla stamped with an old SU text background stamp (sorry, don't remember the name of it). Next up is the delicioiusly retro Melissa Frances designer paper called Rudolph. The main image was stamped with Superior India Ink on #140 lb. watercolor paper and watercolored with my SU reinkers for a nice vintage look.
The flowers were made using the Cuttelbug flowers die. I stamped the text stamp in black on the Melissa Frances paper and cut them using the die. The stars are also a Cuttlebug die coincidently called Stars. Brads are SU and the ribbons are Basic Grey. The buttons are from Jo-Ann's.
Update: This card was featured on Card of the Week.

Gorgeous, Linda! Yes--those eBay ladies can be tenacious with the retured SU! stamps--been there! It's amazing how much some will go for--I saw a few go for over $100...!
Your coloring is so beautiful, and I love all the elements you added--need some of that Melissa Frances paper! Hope your day is just lovely!

Ooh Linda I can see why these stamps are like gold dust ! What a gorgeous image, especially with the way you've used the inks to shade it. Absolutely gorgeous ! Sue x
What a beautiful card, Linda! I love all vintage details. I have not seen that stamp before and I cannot believe it is so expensive!

OOooo gorgeous card Linda. Love all the layers and I can see that it's really tactile.
Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you... you asked me if the Gypsy cut Chipboard. The Gypsy just instructs your Cricut to cut. So if can cut Chipboard with your Cricut then yes. I haven't tried it myself yet but I understand that there is a multi-cut function where the blade passes over the same cut a few times which enables it to cut thicker material. Hope that was of some help to you.
