Today's post is the third of four vintage cards I crafted for a colleague.
The card base is Recollections. The vintage paper is of unknown origin layered on a teal Bazzill and Stampin' Up Pear Pizzazz. The sentiment is cut from Close To My Heart Eggplant with a Crafter's Companion Die'sire Happy Birthday die. The embellishments are Michael's Pastel Damask pearl stickers.
This is not at all close to the card that I envisioned when I started. I'd planned to use one of the wildflower Thinlits dies and actually had one cut but couldn't come up with a placement that was pleasing. I decided instead to use a die cut sentiment in a colour that worked with the watercoloured flower. A much better choice. It also too me an age to choose embellishments. I didn't want to use Stickles again but finding these pearls in my stash was no easy task. All that said, this is a great result.
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
