Back to my First Love...

I mean "back to vintage" ! When I started paper crafting - more than ten years ago - I used CD's with vintage digital images on but I must say that now there is a lot of places where you can find the most gorgeous vintage images you can dream of ! Here are two cards I have made with a vintage feel to them...


Recipe : Digital papers from Aesthetic Addiction - Image from Bitmap - Birdcage : Die from Prickley Pear - Birds : Dies from Leane Creatif - Flowers : Dies from Cottage Cutz - Sentiment (Carpe Diem) from Cuddly Buddly.
My card will enter the challenges :
- "Spring is in the Air" with Moving Along with the Times,
- "Just as you Like" with ABC Challenge,
- "Flowers and Ribbon" with Reasonable Ribbon,
- "Springtime" with Alota Rubber Stamps,
- "Birds" with Sparkles Forum Challenges,  
the challenge with Simon Says Stamps as I have used their sketch to make my card. Here it is...


Here is the second card I have made, using the same digital papers...

  

Recipe : Flower : Die from Tim Holtz - Leaves : Die from Joy - Sewing accessories : Dies from Die-Namic - Vintage Ribbon Spool image : Digital Paper - Sentiment (Carpe Diem) from Cuddly Buddly.
My card will enter the challenges  "Ribbon and Lace" with Crafts and Me and "Dreams of Spring with Lace" with It's All About the Vintage.
Happy Crafting !
