C is for Cat, of course

Hello and welcome again to Fabulous Friday with Sugar Creek Hollow. Friday is the day that the design team all posts their challenge cards PLUS you can go to the website and pick up your Fabulous Friday Freebie. I am having SO much fun with these vintage flash cards that have recently been released. You can buy them on the Sugar Creek Hollow site. A-D are just $5. So now I am up through C and this one I just fell in love with. I think it is something about the color combo - the rose and green are so pleasing to my eye. This sheet of DP is called Baby's Breath by Fancy Pants Designs. I have only one sheet of it and I used about a quarter of it on this card. I wish I had bought a couple of sheets so I had some in reserve.

To make the flash card, I started with the digital vintage cat image that I got free from the Graphic Fairy's website. I reduced the opacity then digitally paper pieced it onto the flashcard, printed it, trimmed it out and sponged it liberally with Creamy Caramel (my favorite distress ink color). Then I roughed up the edges with my scissors and sponged it some more, this time with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The vanilla panel was embossed with the Victoria Cuttlebug embossing folder and sponged with Creamy Caramel, then die cut with a Spellbinders die. It was layered over a Mellow Moss panel that I had stamped with the Script BG stamp inked with Vintage Photo and likewise distressed with the same ink. A bit more scissor/Vintage Photo distressing around the edges of the other panels, a little stitching, ribbon, lace, linen thread and a button topped off the tag. Then I added some Prima flowers and a pretty silver colored bead cap and the card was finished and ready to photograph.

Now it's time to check out the rest of the design team's offerings. Hope you will take time to stop by their blogs:
