Happy Sunday!
Today there is another fun challenge over at The Paper Players...this time from LeAnne:
My first vintage card ended up looking quite a bit like the inspiration photo!
I happened to have a bird cage die cut that a friend gave me a few years ago, so I decided to use that. I adhered it to some vintage looking patterned paper, and added some greens, a bird, a rose, and pearls. The sentiment is stamped in SU's Baked Brown Sugar from Taylored Expressions Many Mini's.
Since the card looked SO much like the photo, I decided to make another vintage card, going in a completely different direction:
This time I went with lots of layers, and used Stampin' Up's Santa from last years holiday catty. The sentiment is from Lizzie Anne.
I really love the look of vintage cards, but I hardly ever make them, so this was a fun challenge for me!
Head on over to The Paper Players and play along!

Both are great cards! I love pearls on the birdcage.
Laurie, I just LOVE this Santa! He is a favorite of mine! Your card just shouts "vintage"! The distressing the doily, and that beautiful poinsettia make the perfect card! BEAUTIFUL! XX
Well, they're both beautiful, but I am glad you highlighted the Santa....he's definitely my favorite! Love the circular diecut and that poinsettia is fabulous!
Beautiful cards - I love them both, but the Santa one has to be my favourite. xx

Two great cards, Laurie! I LOVE the first one even if it is like the inspiration photo! And Santa is looking really good in that wonderful frame!
Wow!!! I'm glad you shared both cards. They are both fantastic and work perfectly with the vintage theme.
I love both of these cards. I like the look of vintage but can never quite get the look myself. These are both gorgeous. Hugs Mrs A.
