Make it vintage.

Taking part in, hopefully the first of many challenges. Over on the Scrapology blog. The card challenge for this month was 'Make it vintage. This was a style that 'was' second nature to me, but years down the line I didn't know where to start. Anyway, this was the outcome:

I used the following items:

Various Tim Holtz Distress ink pads (scattered straw,walnut stain, frayed burlap, vintage photo)
water spritzer
Cut an dry foam
Nestabilities frame (Fleur De Lis Rectangle)
Marianne Design roses and leaves (leaves cut from an of book)
butterfly stamp from Indiogblu, free with Craft Stamper magazine Aug 2012
Black Line Design French Script stamp
Lilac spotted ribbon
Pink satin ribbon
Peal ribbon
Image from a 12 x 12 scrapbooking sheet that has been in stash for years.

This, believe it or not took me hours!!! I just couldn't get things to work as I wanted. As I said at start of post this used to be the only style I did and I found it really difficult to do anything not vintage/shabby chic, but after years away it was much harder than I thought! I got there interest end!

    I can so relate to it taking you hours to complete, most of my work does! It was worth it though because your end result is gorgeous. I love how you tied all the elements together with the bow and pearls. A beautiful card. Thanks for your visit and kind words. Anne x
