Happy Heritage Day to my South African followers!
The colour challenge at The Outlawz comes with a fabulous inspiration pic, and that's what inspired me to play along for fun (I can't actually enter the challenges cos I am a DTeamie there)
This is the inspiration pic
and this is my vintage inspired card:
As my startingpoint i used the wonderful image of the vintage rooster and sunflowers from Graphic 45 DP. I added a little Copics colouring in the form of shadows, and a white gel pen for highlights.
Tomake up my card i used the following :
black CS card base
woodgrain DP
vintage lace with a metal clip and sun charm
To keep my lace in place I used the Hi Tack red double sided tape from BLUEBERRY BEAR - I have great peace of mind when I use this cos I know that the lace won't start curling up and lifting off the DP within a few hours!
I created the vase for the sunflowers by splitting a long wooden bead and recolouring it with my new Graphi'It marker:
The sunflower are years and years old, and part of a big packet that I bought and hardly use!
And lastly, I added a seam binding bow, attached with a twine tied vintage button:

Hi, Jen! Fabulous vintage design! That vase is a true show stopper! Very creative. Your design has wonderful depth and fabulous texture. The composition is top drawer, as well. Great use of the G45 French Country papers. Thanks for dropping this into our mailbox here at 613 Avenue Create!
