Vintage Magnolias


This card is for this weeks Timeless Tuesday challenge which calls for a vintage card.  I thought this beautiful image from Flourishes Magnolias set would be perfect for this type of card, so I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-press It blending card, coloured it with copics and cut it out.  The background paper is from Kaisercrafts Sweet Nothings 6  x 6 paper pad.  I found the dusty pink lace in my bag of various lace pieces, added that to the background plus a paper doiley (after cutting a slice off one side) and covered the edges with cream satin ribbon and a bow.  Finally I popped up the stamped and cut out image on top of the doiley with foam tape.........and that's my version of a vintage card!

Copic colours used were:  R000, R01, R02, G40, G43, G46.

Thanks for coming by to visit!
