Color Throwdown 140

DSCF6044

I have been itching to do a vintage card, and when I saw Barbara’s colors for the CTD this week:

swatch 140

I knew this was the right palette!  I have been wistfully gazing at the Funkie Junkie, Cherry’s Jubilee and Simple Treasures for some inspiration…they all seem to have that lovely vintage style down pat.  So I pulled out some Crafty Secrets goodies I recently got and went to work:

I’m pretty happy with the results.  I don’t have any Blushing Bride ink, only Patterns designer paper, but this CS image had all the colors I needed!  I did color the little flowers around the edge with a Pink Pirouette marker, and it seems to match fairly well.  I dyed some felt with Baja Breeze ink to make my little leaves; the rest is just bits and bobs from my stash.

All other stamped images are various PTI sets; the musical BG is from Cornish Heritage Farms.  Email me if you have questions!

    LeAnne, This card is GORGEOUS. Just like Ann said it is a masterpiece! Can you tell me how you made your seam binding look so old and shriveled up? I love your little felt leaves and all the layering. Just Beautiful.

    Oh LeAnne!! That is such a lovely card!! Wonderful colors and design - great job! Cassidy is certainly considering something serious (like how to convince you to give another cookie maybe) Give that dumpling an extra hug for me!
