Barely getting another card wrapped up in time! (Story of my life!) This one is for the Embellish challenge: using rust, yellow, green and VINTAGE styling.
For someone who loves "vintage", I sure did struggle with this card. I didn't want to use a flower though...I guess I figured it would look like everyone else's flower, ya know. Flowers come natural for me though, so doing without just caused me a lot of grief!! I went with leaves instead. I do love my PTI leaves! And it's such a short season that I get to use them! I like to cut them out of lots of different things, and on this card I used watercolor paper, felt and burlap...
I also incorporated a seam binding bow and embellished it with a vintage earring. I used some K & Co. paper, and Tim Holtz grungeboard and distress inks to give the card an aged style. Everything got inked...from head to toe! I also used a couple die cut Journaling Frames from Creative Imaginations. Lots of pretty shapes in this package!You know how lighting varies the colors in photos...so I'm sharing two. This one, outside...
And this one, inside...
Thanks to the Design Team for their one of a kind inspiration and the chance to play again!Have a great day, and thanks so much for stopping!
