Card Monkey 59

DSCF6516

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:

Monkey59 Vintage-001

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!

    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.

    Beautiful!!

    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!
