Vintage style


 I challenged myself to do a vintage style card this time, and the secret seems to be lots of layers. The main image is from a set from Lost Coast called Vintage Labels. It's stamped in Sepia on a grayish snippet, and I added some coloring with pencils. Along the bottom of the label, I added some paper lace that was aged with Antique Linen ink. The label is tucked into a frame cut from another pale gray snippet that was embossed with a flowery EF. (With the embossed gray, it almost looks like an old ceiling tile.) I then dragged a pink ink pad along the top of the embossing to highlight it. There is a metal photo turn on the left of the label. On the right is a butterfly cut from a blue-gray snippet on which I stamped a bit of script to add a little interest before die-cutting. Everything is on top of a lovely, vintage-looking flowered patterned paper, and it's all on a pink card. 

This card is entered in these challenges.
