I made my card in soft spring pastels/neutrals. The main colors are Creamy Caramel and Soft Sky. I printed out some digital paper from the Crafty Secrets Creating with Vintage Patterns CD that I just got in stock in my store. (Of course, I had to grab a copy for me before I put the others in the boutique.) Then I stamped various French vintage style elements from 7 Gypsies Avalon set in Soft Suede. I inked up the front panel of the Tim Holtz Postcard texture fade (you had to have guessed that there would some sort of post card involved, right?) and ran a piece of white CS through it. Then I went over the high points with Creamy Caramel. The castle stamp is from SU's Provincial set. The metal is all from my shop - I white heat embossed it, sanded it and rubbed creamy caramel ink over it with my finger. A bit of lace also from my shop (in white) and the rose made with the Tattered Pinecone die made from white CS and Tattered Rose distress stain.
Now I hope you will stop by Our Creative Corner to see where the rest of the team is dreaming of taking a spring break vacation. What's your spring break vacation destination? Hope you will join our challenge this week. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
