y card for today plays along with two challenges: Embellish magazine's vintage color challenge and Etsy Inspired #111. When I first saw this color combo, I was stumped. Add in the fact that I don't do vintage, and yes, I had a true challenge on my hands.
Once I started searching around this week's Etsy shop, Stilettoheights, I began to think maybe I could combine the two challenges.I chose this print as my inspiration.
I started with some Pink Paislee paper. It was already distressed, but I added my own touch by inking the edges and adding a few smudges.
I used a birdcage stamp I found in the dollar bin at Michaels, along with a couple of sentiments from another set. I added the pearls and ribbon to finish it off. For not being a vintage girl, I think it turned out okay.
What do you think?
Stamps: birdcage (unknown), Butterflies & Birds (Inkadinkado)
Paper: Lemon Tart, Pink Paislee pp
Ink: Garden Green
Accessories: May Arts ribbon, Kaisercraft pearls
