I had a wonderful play date with my Mum yesterday, getting messy with inks and powders! This is what I ended up with.
The image is a freebie from Free Vintage Digital Stamps and was coloured with Old Paper, Antique Linen, Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord Distress Inks. I then sprinkled some Shabby Pink Stampendous Embossing Enamel around the edges and heated, to create a border.
The papers are Papermania Chatsworth, a pack I picked up in the sale a while back but have hardly used. I don't know why I haven't used them more coz they're
gorgeous with a lovely vintage feel. The edges were all distressed with my Tim Holtz tool and the bird cage mat had Distress embossing powder in Milled Lavender sprinkled round the edges and heated to add to the shabby look.
The Eiffel Tower was cut on the Cricut using the Destinations cartridge. It was distress with Distress embossing powder too, this time in Weathered Wood. I just couldn't resist the temptation to bling it up with some gems!
The flowers and leaves were made with Woodware punches and some lilac lace and a few pearls are the finishing touches.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Sweet Sketch - #162 - sketch
I followed the sketch exactly apart from adding the Eiffel Tower instead of the three flowers. I did however, add gems on the tower in three places.
It's All About the Vintage - #23 - anything vintage goes
Anything Goes - #71 - lavender and lace
Cupcake - #201 - Tour de France
Come and Get It - bingo, I used gems, die cut, flowers
