Hi! I've made a card for one of our nieces today. It's a "just because" card :)
This card is going into the
CR84FN color Challenge 49. I couldn't resist those wonderful colors. See what I mean...
Aren't they soft and spring-y?
Here's my card.
I had SO much fun making this card. The photo is of a family member...taken in the late 1950's. Isn't it sweet??? I chose a doily print dsp to tie in with the age of the photo. And, I used some decorative edge scissors to trim the photo (this isn't the original photo, but a copy). This edge looks similar to the ones on vintage photos of that time. Yes. I'm showing my age :) Oh, and I used a linen texture impression plate for the kraft panel. I love that texture!
Thanks so much for taking a look today,
What's in it?
card stock: daffodil delight, crumb cake (kraft), basic gray (Stampin' Up!)
stamp: wonderful words II (SU)
dsp: flirtatious (SU)
ink: onyx black (Versafine)
other: linen impression plate, heart border die, kraft satin ribbon, kraft wool felt (Papertrey Ink), photo paper (Kodak), decorative scissors (Fiskars)
Great take on the colors!
