Wow, I was thrilled when Terry and Shirley of a la Card Monkey fame asked me to guest design again this week! And what a fabulous challenge---a vintage themed sketch:
I pulled out Nature Walk and a K&Co pad of DP, along with some other little embellishments, and went to work:
Ooh, so much sweetness going on here! I stamped my birdcage in Basic Gray ink on a piece of patterned paper, added a couple bees here and there, and mounted it on top of a scalloped piece of vellum on which I had stamped French Script:
I added some shabby seam binding, lace, a crimped “ruffle”, some glittery embellishments, and a fussy-cut flower….and added a Tiny Tag sentiment. So yummy!
Make sure you boogie on over to the Card Monkey blog so you can see what the other designers have come up with and try your hand at this challenge too! Thanks for visiting today—if you have any questions, please just shoot me an email!

Soooo beautiful Leanne! Love it.
Leanne, this is WONDERFUL! So lovely. I wish I could do vintage like you do it. When I try it looks more like a 3rd grade collage project.

Ok, this is too fabulous for words, LeAnne! I saw this on the challenge site and my jaw dropped. You have so many shabby-licious details going on here and it's perfection. I'm voting for some tutorials on how you make vintage-style looks so awesome every time!. Hugs!
This is so Shabby Chic and Vintage at the same time. You knocked it out of the Park!! Love it so so much. This one has to be one of my all time Fav's!!
