A Vintagey Valentine Card

This post is gonna be pretty short and sweet because I want to play in The Challenge, which happens to be closing in a few hours. Do you ever look at an inspiration picture for a challenge and think... oooooo I really need to play along with that! 

 I do that all the time, but most of the time I just Pin them to go back to later and then get overwhelmed by the amount of challenges I want to play in.

 But NOT TODAY! Today, I was bound and determined to play along with the inspiration image because I was soooo... well... inspired by it! :) And I did it!

Here's the image that I was inspired by:

Vintage, lace, soft romantic colors. Checks all of my shabby chic boxes! 



I pulled out my Grandma's vintage lace, some bits and bobs from vintage jewelry that my momma gave me. 



Since I also wanted to play along with Anything But Cute Challenge - New - I pulled out my latest stamp set from Unity that I fell in love with - called Love is Grand.

I love how soft and pretty this turned out to be! Thanks for stopping by!

    Well you outdid yourself, Becca! I am so happy you played! This is a marvelous creation; the lace, the flowers, the sponging, the embossing! Wow! I love the light and fresh feel you managed to create with the ribbon too. Thank you for joining us at The Challenge!
