Cardabilities #41 {Vintage Note}



I have been in a crafting mood lately, and I have been trying to find new challenge blogs to play!  Well, I found a new one...new to me that is!  What a great sketch this week.  The challenge is called Cardabilities and here is their sketch! 


Tonight I wanted to create something vintage and warm. I used some new Bo Bunny paper and I got out my Copics to colour the floral image from Stampendous. The butterflies are from my embosslit die called "Beautiful Wings" from Stampin' Up and I added some pearls to the butterflies.  I don't know why I used black but it seemed to bring out the richness of the paper. I hope you think so too!  I sponged all the edges with some Crumb Cake Ink.

    I love this! Your vintage background looks great with that bit of musical note paper. The colors of your flowers really pop too!
