Vintage 411

The sketch at Stampin' 411 really got me thinking! For the past two days I have been sketching and thinking and planning!  I used the new colours Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler.  I LOVE the Cherry Cobbler...my goodness...it is rich and vibrant.  Well after lots of thinking and planning, this is what I came up with!
I used the "Vintage Vogue" stamp set and the En Francais background stamp.  The Friends stamp was inked up using Early Espresso and the flower was inked up in Cherry Cobbler.  I used some Vanilla Satin Ribbon and a pearl from the retired "Pretties" kit.  The main panel was created using the Top Note Die and my Big Shot.  I just cut part of the Top Note off, so it would frame the small rectangle.  I sponged around the Cherry Cobbler paper with Cherry Cobbler Ink and stamped En Francais in Cherry Cobbler Ink, to add some depth.
Thank you for stopping by!  I hope all my American friends had a wonderful Independence Day. 
Smiles,
Lesley

    I love this card. I just sent in an order with LeAnne for all these wonderful colors. I can't wait to get them. This is one of my favorite stamps. I need to get it out.
    Great card!

    Lesley, your vintage card is so lovely. I love that it is simple. I get caught up with the idea that vintage needs to be fussy and your card illustrates that it doesn't!

    Very pretty, Lesley. It is such a rich, luscious color combo. I love the way you incorporated the top note. The pearl is the perfect addition
