... and why do I say that?
Well, I have been hanging onto a pretty birthday card for years and years and years! Today I got to use it on a vintage-style birthday card.
I cut out the picture, distressed the edges and made my card according to a sketch from Let's Scrap:
I used the following for my card:
off white CS base
off white CS background
woodgrain DP
self-adhesive lace, distressed
sewn on sequins and beads, and bling butterfly
peel-off sentiment
seam binding bow
spray of paper roses and flowers and sequin flowers
(I know the bling is a little too modern for true vintage, but I felt that it brightened the overall look and added some interest.)
The top left hand corner of the recycled birthday card image is curled up in keeping with the vintage theme.
I will enter this card into the World Card Making Day challenge at Let's Scrap.
