I am inspired by Ann Schach and LOVE the way she puts cards together. I promised her I would try to play along with the
Pals Paper Arts Challenge tonight which was to use a button on your card. I confess, I am a buttonless stamper...I need to get my hands on some of those great new buttons in the Holiday Mini. Instead I dug out my Buttons Die to use in the Big Shot and cranked out a button made of Daffodil Delight Paper and sponged it with Chocolate Chip. This card was also made for the current
Colour Dare Challenge to use Daffodil Delight, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. I really love those colours together! I chose those colours because of Nance Leedy and her inspirational cards!! She often awes me with her work.
So there it is...I am posting to see what you all think. Is it a too busy or am a close to creating something adequately Vintage?
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Elements of Style, Because I Care
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight and Very Vanilla
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight
Tools: Crimper, Big Shot, Buttons Die, Retired Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Sponges, Distressing Tool
Thanks for stopping by...

ReplyDeleteLesley, this is GORGEOUS. I love what you have done with the Color Dare trio! This is such a great vintage card. I love the background stamping, the lush ribbon treatment and especially how you repeated just a couple flowers in the center. It's beautiful. Thanks for the kind words--the feeling is mutual :-)
