{Vintage Vogue Mother's Day Card}

It's been way too long since I was able to participate in a creative challenge, so it was fun to take part in this one!  I used it, actually, to make a scrapbooking layout, which I will post on Friday.  But the inspiration was this card and the Just Add Ink Vintage Challenge this week.

I taught this card in class a few weeks ago, and it's a perfect Mother's Day card.  How appropriate to say thank you to our mothers.  (I suppose I better get mine in the post today!)

Inspired by a card I saw online, I adapted to fit the supplies we have here in NZ.  The background is enbossed with our NEW Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  I bought out the dots with a bit of ink - a very cool look if you love antique like I do.

Of course the images are from the ever-popular and oh-so-yummy Vintage Vogue stamp set.   The centre of the large flower is the 5/8 inch brad - yes they are still available for purchase.  (If you have not seen the carry over - write-in products- flyer, email me or ask your demonstrator).  These babies are just perfect for the centre of this flower.

The centres of the smaller flowers - take a guess!  All correct answers will be sent a little treat via email.  use the comments section below.

The card is gorgeous. I love how you added the colour to the embossing folder dots, I will have to try that. I am thinking you used the crop-a-dile punch out bits to put centres in the smaller flowers.

Hi Jacque, This is a beautiful set isn't it. I am certainly making lots with it. I love the layout you have used for this card and the inking around the edge of each flower - truely gives it the vintage look. Chantell x x
