OCC ~ Vintage



It`s already thursday (again), and today I found the time to make a card:) It`s been raining for MANY days now, and today it`s actually snowing a little too! So the weather is at least perfect for indoor activities.
Sorry about the bad picture though, the lighting is just terrible today!

The card turned out kind of vintage/shabby chic, so that would make it perfect for the vintage challenge at Our Creative Corner.

I used a stamp called He knows from Heartfelt Creations. I stamped, colored and cut the flowers, and layered them for the 3d effect. The sentiment is from the Mini Message Cursive set. The frame was made using Spellbinders dies.
I kept the rest of the card neutral and simple to make the flowers pop even more. The background is cuttlebug embossed. Borderpunch from Fiskars....and of course some pearls to finish it off:)

I hope you have a wonderful day, and thanks for visiting!

Dette var utrolig nydelig. Bakgrunnen din er jo bare så herlig. Du er så utrolig dyktig på å bruke både cuttlebuggen og spellbinderene dine. Her har man virkelig noe å lære.

Beth Norman said...

When one has 52 comments on one card, does someone like me get missed in all your reading? It's a curious question--I've never had 52 comments on one of my cards before. You truly deserve it, Yvonne; your work is always so very stunning, elegant and professionally put together. I love all your work.

Kirsten Aune said...

Jeg blir helt satt ut av de nydelige kortene dine, Yvonne! Jeg elsker stilen din, og blir så betatt hver gang jeg tar turen inn hit (dessverre altfor sjelden, men....)Du er en stor kunstner. Tusen takk for all inspirasjon du gir meg!

Håper du har en fin helg, Yvonne!
God klem fra Kirsten
