Vintage Flowers

Time for another challenge over at Paper Lovin' Gals, this week we have another picture to inspire your creations.  As usual it doesn't matter what about the picture inspires you, it could be the flowers, the colours or even the little glass jars!  That is the beauty of these challenges.  I would also like to enter my card in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.

For me this week it was a few things that caught my eye, the colours, the flowers and even the little ribbon that holds them together.  The stamp I have used is from Fresh Vintage, one of the sets available FREE as part of Sale-A-Bration which starts on the 24th January.  I wanted to give the idea of  a vine climbing over a trellis or lattice fence with the flower reaching for the sun.  I coloured the stamp with my Stampin' Write Markers and used the smaller flower in the set with Versa Mark to create the subtle flowers on the right of the card.  A few carefully positioned pearls to add that special something and I was complete.

Don't forget to pop over and see what the other Design Team members have created to help inspire you to join in the challenge this week.

Happy Stamping
