How did that happen? I don't particularly enjoy making vintage cards, so two in a row ... wow!!!
The Color Challenge today at the Outlawz is :
And this is my interpretation:
My starting point was this recently purchase sheet of 12 x 12 DP from Authentique, called "Greetings" in the Lovely range :
It's a beautiful textured paper, and double sided. I used the centre image in the top row.
After I cut out the image, I inked the edges to give them some definition, and mounted it onto kraft card that also had the edges inked. I coloured the image a little with my alcohol markers to increase the intensity:
For the rest of the card, I used :
off-white CS card base
blue card mat
offcut of striped brown DP
sky blue organza ribbon and bow
and
the following BLUEBERRY BEAR products:
three small pearl flatbacked hearts
three paper flowers, layered, with a large flatback pearl centre
Although I am not a HUGE vintage fan, I think I am happy with this card, and I would like to add it to the following challenges:
