Paper Players 296 Vintage Robin


Happy Sunday, everyone!  It's time for another Paper Players  challenge, and today Laurie is our hostess with a pretty little sketch:


I haven't done anything vintage for a while, and I just got this beautiful robin image from Artistic Outpost (Birds of a Feather), so I went on a search for some vintage-style papers and came up with this:


 I didn't really have any plain cardstock that complemented these beautiful papers, so I stamped my robin on some Naturals Ivory cardstock in Mint Macaron, added a little shading to the bird with Always Artichoke, then sponged everything with Blushing Bride to match the little lattice design on the paper.    I added a scallop in Always Artichoke, some wonky stitching:


a shabby seam binding bow:


and a Paper Pumpkin sentiment diecut with a Bitty Banners die:


I just love this sketch, there are so many possibilities!  I hope you'll play along too.  Here's what the DT came up with:

Softball time!

    This is absolutely stunning! You vintage so very well. What machine do you use to do your stitching? Do you have a dedicated machine for paper? That bow totally ROCKS! ~chris

    This is really beautiful, LeAnne! I aspire to do more work with a vintage or collage feel, but haven't yet had too much success - or the time to try really!! : ) xo Crystal

    Be still my heart! I so wish I could pull off this style - instead I'm going to sit and swoon over your card LeAnne, with its wonderful vintage details and shabby chic bow. I love it!!!

    I am not a vintage person but when it comes to birds on a card I just swoon! And it so happens that I have this set too! Gosh it's simply looks gorgeous and the papers are so perfect! Thank you for the inspiration. I just had to pin it!
