Vintage Vogue for a friend

Hi

Well, it's winter here now but you wouldn't know it. The weather is gorgeous. The humidity of the wet season is already a distant memory. Every year I wonder why I choose to live in the tropics when the rain pours down continuously for weeks on end and the mould blooms on shoes, belts and bags in the wardrobe. But now, this time of year, I wouldn't live anywhere else. The skies are blue, the breeze is soft and the sun feels so good on my skin.

Of course the down side is that it really isn't conducive to getting much housework done, it's just way too nice to be inside. So that means that I am later to get in to my craft room at night as the work I should have done during the day needs to be done first.

But with that done, I have managed a card for tonight.



I chose the Vintage Vogue stamp set from Stampin Up! for this card tonight. I have had the set for a while but have not used it except perhaps the flowers on a previous card.

I originally wanted to make this a monochromatic scheme but found that hard so added the So Safron for the flowers.

Recipe:

Cardstock - Old Olive and Whisper White from Stampin Up!
Designer paper  from the Rock Star card elements set from Stampin Up!
Stamp Set - Vintage Vogue from Stampin Up!
Ink - Old Olive and So Safron from Stampin Up!

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look today.

Dad has commented that this is one excellent card that must have been a lot of work to do . He likes the edging .
Well done Michelle it's beautiful. I love the dot paper with the corner flourishes and your edging on the larger flowers is a nice touch .

Hello!

It seems so strange to hear 'winter' as we are just starting our summer here in Wisconsin, USA - humidity and heat, I know your name! :<) Even more so to hear 'winter' along with blue skies, soft breezes and sunshine! We have cold and snow and ice and wind. :<)

I love your card - beautiful choice of color and layout. Wishing you a happy day today!
