Seize the Birthday Guest - Text Background

I'm kicking it old school with the ladies at Seize the Birthday challenge as their surprise party guest and I had so much fun playing along in their latest challenge.


 I love a good card with an old-timey vintagey feel to it, so when I read that the new challenge was to use a text/script background I was all sorts of happy. 


I stamped some gorgeous poppies from a Penny Black stamp set and watercolored it in using some Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks. 

I used some black and tan damask paper as well as some vintagey text paper for my background.

My card was also inspired by the sketch challenge going on at The Paper Players right now. 

 I'm also going to play along in:
Craft Rocket Challenges - Something beginning with "F" (flower)
There is some gorgeous inspiration up at the Seize the Birthday blog and you all should go check it out!!

    Love your vintage look with the script background over the damask paper. Penny Black stamps are one of my favorites, (I have so many) and I like how you did the poppies.

    Really gorgeous! I love the contrast of the clean floral panel with the vintage cream and black of the rest of the card. Love the addition of the twine bow too. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
