Going Vintage

Hi there!

Today I have a card that is a little unlike what I usually do. It is a lot more vintage than usual. But I wanted to play along with a few chaellenges and thought I would do well to push myself out of my comfort zone. I am going to enter this card into 3 challenges.

This week A La Card Monkey has gone vintage.

The 2-4-6 challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room also caught my eye. The criteria is 2 different patterned papers, 4 buttons and 6 layers. There is also a cute inspiration pic.

Deesigns by Nina Dee has a weekly ribbon challenge, this week it is pleated ribbon.

Here is my card:

 

The coloured rose was inspired by the magnificent Teneale Williams. Although mine is nothing on hers! I need a lot more practice at colouring!

I have used the Brights DSP stack (old olive) and I cracked open my packet of the ever so lovely Lap of Luxury DSP.

It isn't easy to see in the pics but I have sponged the edges of the cardstock/DSP in Old Olive and the Doily in Crumbcake. The bottom left hand corner of the DSP is also rolled.

Here is a close up of the details:
