Vintage Just Because Swap Card


Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!!!

My card for today is one of my swaps for Convention next month.  The requirements are fairly simple....make a vintage style creation.  I used my fave embossing folder, Notably Ornate stampset & sponged around my main image to achieve my version of a *vintage* style card.  I also added a bit of shimmer, pearls & a textured butterfly...I have to add those lil' beauties LOL!!!  I think the layout I used came from a sketch the Paper Players used a few weeks back....forgive me if I'm mistaken!!!  I do hope the ladies receiving this card enjoy it as much as I had fun making it!!

Well, I'm off to work on more swaps!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

  17. Hi Jackie,

    Butterflies are one of my favorite images. The green and black color combination is very elegant. I especially like the vintage lined paper behind the butterfly.
