Vintage Floral Inspiration - The Challenge #57

~

Hello, my friends!

It’s time for a brand new The Challenge!  This week is the 3rd in the month so we’ve got an inspiration challenge for you.

How beautifully feminine and vintage does that look?

I tried to follow along those lines and used some soft seam binding to create a flower-like element to create around.

The background panel is made of watercolor paper.  It was stamped with a REALLY old script stamp and then dry embossed with my Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder. Then I spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Blush Color Shine.  I also used several die cuts to add a collage feel to the card front.  And now it’s ready for a special person on Valentine’s Day!

I'm also entering my card in this week's Curtain Call Challenge - Girly:

Broni, I love that you combined the vintage elements for your background and pretty ribbon and paired them with the modern Valentine die cuts. It's so perfect.

Very pretty card. That seam binding flower you've created is so sweet. The panel with its subtle embossing has really captured my attention; it creates a delightful background for your focal point. Such a wonderful design and a great card.
